Exploring St Marys Anglican Church, Cracroft Graves.
(St Mary’s Church was built in 1863 to the design of leading Gothic Revival architect Benjamin Mountfort (1825-98). The church is regarded as the culmination of Mountfort’s early ecclesiastical work in Canterbury and it embodies the close relationship between the Anglican Church and the Canterbury Association in the formative years of the new settlement. Later additions to the church, as well as the lychgate, were designed by R W England (1890-91). The church was repaired and partially rebuilt, after fire destroyed the transepts and sanctuary, to designs by Don Donnithorne in 1968-69. The first interment in the graveyard took place in February 1867.
Sir John Cracroft Wilson grave and graves of family are also in the graveyard out the back of St Marys Anglican Church. Sir John Cracroft Wilson (21 May 1808 - 2 March 1881), was a British-educated civil servant in India, farmer and politician in New Zealand.)
