Spirited Cemetery Tours – Burwood Anglican Cemetery
A series of cemetery tours revealing not only the great and good but also the interesting, scandalous and downright evil.
Join local historian Richard Greenaway on a tour of the Burwood Anglican Cemetery where locals and 'power couple', Mr. C.R.D. and Mrs Ward, the first president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, are buried.
Richard Greenaway (M.A. (Honours in History), University of Canterbury, 1972) has taken cemetery tours during Heritage Week/Festival since 1994.
From 1980 to 2015 he was Reference Librarian, Aotearoa New Zealand Centre, Christchurch City Libraries, and is the author of two books for Christchurch City Libraries:
- Unsung heroines – published for Women's Suffrage Year, 1993.
- Rich man, poor man, environmentalist, thief – for the millennium and 150th anniversary of the Canterbury province, in 2000.
Greenaway received the A.C. Rhodes Medal from the Canterbury History Foundation in 2008.
Cemetery tour booklets are available for $5 on the day.
Includes refreshments.
Meet in front of the hall.
