1.5 Preparation of this Conservation Plan Conservation Plan for Addington Cemetery This Plan was commissioned by Kevin Williams of the Greenspace Unit of the Christchurch City Council. It was prepared by Robyn Burgess (Principal Heritage Consultant, Opus), David McKenzie ( Principal Landscape Architect, Opus), and Jenny May (Director, Heritage Management Services) who carried out several site visits. It was peer reviewed by Ian Bowman (Independent Conservation Architect), who also visited the site and provided specific conservation advice. ‘Best practice’ cemetery conservation guidelines prepared by the New Zealand Historic Cemeteries Conservation Trust (NZHCCT) and more detailed guidance notes in the Australian publication Conserving Our Cemeteries (ed Celestina Sagazio, National Trust of Australia, 2003) and the joint publication by English Heritage and English Nature, ‘Paradise Preserved’, 2002, form the basis of conservation advice for Addington Cemetery in this Conservati on Plan. 2 UNDERSTANDING THE PLACE 2.1 Historical Research 2.1.1 Overview The very nature of a cemetery associates it with cultural and significant spiritual human activity in the most fundamental sense. The Addington Cemetery is a small cemetery situated in the heart of a residential area and established in 1858 by the Presbyterian Church of St Andrew’s in reaction to the ‘exclusiveness’ of the Anglican Barbadoes Street cemetery which was at that date the only Cemetery in the City. The Barbodoes Street cemetery was divided into Anglican on the eastern side and dissenters on the western side of Barbadoes Street. Although it was originally known as the Scotch Cemetery, the Church of St Andrew’s established Addington as a public cemetery open to all denominations. A considerable number of notable early pioneer families are buried in the cemetery such as the Deans family of Riccarton. Other notables such as suffragist Kate Sheppard, politician Tommy Taylor, artist John Gibb and architect Samuel Farr are buried here. 4
