Removal of headstones—Public notice

Very shortly a number of gravestones in close proximity to St Peter’s Church, Anglican Parish of Upper Riccarton-Yaldhurst, will be relocated within the churchyard. This will be done to facilitate the earthquake repairs to the church, the construction of new transepts, and in order to protect the headstones themselves. The work will be carried out by professional stone masons, who will relocate those headstones that will not be able to be restored to their original location to as close proximity as possible to their original position, and store those that will be reinstated safely and securely for the duration of the repair and building work.  Prior to the headstones being removed, they will be photographed and details kept of their correct location.

We apologise for any inconvenience or distress caused by this essential work, and assure everyone that this will be done with due care and reverence.

A full list of the gravestones and memorials is available on the parish website at http://anglicanlife.org.nz

If you would like further information about this process, or any other aspect of our rebuilding programme, please call –

The Vicar – 03 348 5653

Thank you for your understanding.
