ICW is excited that a much-loved building in ‘our patch’ – St Peter’s on Willis - will soon be the proud recipient of a brand-new Historic Places Blue Plaque!

This is only the second Historic Places Blue Plaque in Wellington, and it has been generously funded by Priscilla Williams, Sally Hasell, Richard Norman and Wellington Historic Places Trust.

The unveiling is part of the Heritage Festival on Sunday, 3 November.

This is only the second Historic Places Blue Plaque in Wellington, and it has been generously funded by Priscilla Williams, Sally Hasell, Richard Norman and Wellington Historic Places Trust.

The event will take place following the Church’s 10am service and the plaque will be unveiled by Felicity Wong and Sheila Williams, and blessed by Archdeacon The Reverend Stephen King.

St Peter’s is inviting everyone to come along, and to bring friends and whānau to join its parishioners for the event.

As well, after a cup of tea in the Garden Room, there will be a talk by Annelise Schroeder who is writing an internship brief, “An historical survey, interpretive report and study for the church of St Peter’s on Willis”.

Annelise is currently in her final year of the Master of Museum and Heritage Practice programme at Victoria University of Wellington.

ICW is delighted to have played a very small part on the project and we look forward to exploring opportunities with the team so that more Blue Plaques to appear on our wonderful inner-city buildings.
