Churchyard

Ko ngā whenua o te whare karakia, he maha ngā āhuatanga kua pā ki konei: he māra i ngā wā i mua i te taenga mai o te Pākehā, he urupā mai i te tau 1842, he wāhi whakaharatau hōia mō ngā tau 10, he pātiki hoki mō ngā kau me ngā hōiho e timotimo haere nei i waenga i ngā rua tūpāpāku, tae atu ki te tau 1890s. Ko tētahi āhuatanga tino mīharo ko te whānui o te wāhi nei. I te tau 1861, i ngā Pakanga ki Taranaki, ka rāhuitia e te Kāwanatanga te tanu tūpāpāku ki Ngāmotu, e wātea ai mō ngā rākau e tū ana ki reira i ēnei rā. I konei, ka hono ngā ao e rua e tuari ai te iwi taketake me te iwi tauhou i te whenua kotahi, he whakaara i te whakaata me te noho tahi.

The churchyard surrounding the Cathedral has been many things: a garden in pre-colonial times, a cemetery from 1842, an army exercise ground for 10 years, and a paddock for bullocks and horses who grazed around graves until the 1890s. A defining feature is the open space. In 1861, during the Taranaki Wars, the government prohibited all burials in New Plymouth, leaving room for the now-historical trees. Here, two worlds come together as native and settler share the same soil, inviting reflection and reconciliation.
