“Te Henui Cemetery”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Te Henui Cemetery, also known as New Plymouth Cemetery, is the oldest public cemetery in New Plymouth, New Zealand. It was first used in 1861.

Description

An ordinance by the Taranaki Provincial Council dated 28 October 1861 set aside {{convert|24|acre}} and established the first public burial ground in New Plymouth.^[1]^[2] The cemetery is the resting ground for the last eight victims of Titokowaru's War. On 13 February 1869, a war party of Ngāti Maniapoto led by Wetere Te Rerenga killed all three men, a woman and three children, and also the Wesleyan missionary John Whiteley who arrived shortly afterwards, at the isolated Pukearuhe Redoubt, some {{convert|57|km}} from New Plymouth. This was the final act of the Taranaki wars.^[3] There are two separate monuments at the cemetery that commemorate people who died in the incident.^[1]

With the abolition of provincial government in 1876, the cemetery came under the control of the New Plymouth Borough Council.^[1] Today, it is controlled by the New Plymouth District Council.^[2]

The main entrance to the cemetery is located at the intersection between Watson and Lemon Streets,^[2] where memorial gates were installed in 1924 on the request of Alice Honeyfield, a former resident then living in Sydney.^[4]

The cemetery contains the Commonwealth war graves of 12 men who served in the First World War, and 19 men who served in the Second World War.^[5]^[6]

Plots are no longer available for purchase, and the cemetery has mainly a heritage function. Occasional burial still occur on family plots.^[2]
