Conservation Plan for Addington Cemetery The following notes from Archives New Zealand, CH380: Abattoir & Reserves Committee Minute Books refer to the resolutions to transfer the cemetery to the Council. 20 January 1947 p1910 Clause 7: “At a meeting of the Deacon’s Court last night….to transfer the securities as listed together with the bank balance of approximately £300 making a total of something over £4000. These funds have been built up over a number of years….” 21 March 1947 A letter to the Chairman and Members of the Reserves Committee Christchurch City Council from the Reserves office of the Council outlines the matters for the Council to consider. The report is attached in full in Appendix 3. 24 March 1947 “Resolved to recommend to Council to take over the Addington Cemetery provided the present owners are prepared to assist in the passage of a Bill for removal of headstones” “…letter received from the Chairman, Finance Committee, St. Andrew’s Church: ‘our cemetery is not at all in the same position as the Barbadoes Street cemetery. A great number of stones have been erected in the last 2/3 years….there is no doubt that in the distant future many of the cemeteries will be cleaned up for playing areas for children, but we are not in a position to even discuss that matter with you….we would like you to reconsider the position quite apart from the Barbadoes Street cemetery which we understand is more or less in a derelict condition and without funds to keep it in order….it would take a considerable time for the funds [of Addington Cemetery] to be used up in keeping the present graves in order….’” 29 26 May 1947 p1942 Clause 3:“Resolved that a conference be held between representatives of the committee and the owners of the two cemeteries concerned (Addington and Barbadoes Street) to discuss further the question of future control of these cemeteries.” 22 September 1947 18
Clause 5: Barbadoes St and Addington Cemeteries Conservation Plan for Addington Cemetery “Resolved to recommend the Council to agree to the proposals; subject to an undertaking that both the Church Property Trustees and St Andrews Church authorities will support legislation for the removal of headstones…..” Clearly this was not resolved and both the Barbadoes Street and Addington cemeteries remain intact today.
