HISTORIC WOODEN CROSS PROJECT

Julia from Northland

The Friends of Karori Cemetery are embarking on their first fundraising and restoration project.
The large Totara cross found at Karori Cemetery is the Cemetery's oldest landmark. It was originally placed at the top of the rise at the centre of the Cemetery in 1892 and had stood for over 120 years. It would have once been visible to everyone who visited the Cemetery.
The Friends of Karori Cemetery are seeking contributions to have the Cross conserved and restored to its original position. Join with the Friends by donating to help ensure this piece of Wellington's cultural heritage is not lost forever.

If you would like to contribute, please go to our Give a Little page:
