The Dunedin Northern Cemetery is a major historic cemetery in the southern New Zealand city of Dunedin. It is located close to Lovelock Avenue on a spur of Signal Hill close to the Dunedin Botanic Gardens and the suburb of Opoho, overlooking Dunedin North and Logan Park. The site was set aside in 1872, with the last plot being purchased in 1937.〔Hamel, A. (2008) ''Dunedin tracks and trails.'' Dunedin: Silver Peaks Press. p. 1.06-07.〕 The cemetery forms part of Dunedin's Town belt, a green belt surrounding the inner city. The cemetery contains many notable graves and tombs, most prominently the mausoleum of William Larnach, designed by R.A. Lawson as a miniature replica of First Church. Other notable burials and interments include Thomas Bracken and Vincent Pyke.〔Herd, Joyce, and Griffiths, George J., (1980) ''Discovering Dunedin.'' Dunedin: John McIndoe. p. 83.〕 There are war graves of 17 Commonwealth service personnel from World War I and 3 from World War II.〔() CWGC Cemetery Report.〕 The sexton's cottage at the entrance to the cemetery contains a visitor's centre. A commemorative lookout, the Bracken Lookout, is located at the southern end of the cemetery, and commands views across Logan Park, the University of Otago and central city. The cemetery is listed on the New Zealand Historic Places Trust Register as a Historic Place - Category I. ==See also== * 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「Dunedin Northern Cemetery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
