The Barbadoes Street Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was set up with three discrete areas for different denominations. ==Description== The cemetery was included in the original survey of Christchurch that was carried out in 1850. It was set up for three separate denominations: *Reserve 20 was set aside for the Church of England; this was an area east of Barbadoes Street. *Reserve 42 was set aside for Roman Catholics; this was an area west of Barbadoes Street. *Reserve 43 was set aside for Dissenters; this was also an area west of Barbadoes Street and south of Reserve 42. The Canterbury Provincial Council passed the ''Cemetery Reserves Management Ordinance, 1870''. Based on this Ordinance, a Dissenters Cemetery Board was appointed in August 1871, comprising George Booth, George Gould (father of the businessman of the same name), James Jameson (who at the time of his appointment was Mayor of Christchurch), Francis James Garrick (a former member of the Provincial Council) and Thomas Abbott (a nurseryman). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barbadoes Street Cemetery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
