Blue Plaque unveiled!
On Sunday, 3 November, the curtain was pulled away and the latest Blue Plaque in the city was unveiled!
The unveiling was part of the Heritage Festival on Sunday, 3 November.
The Blue Plaque is located on St Peter’s Church on Willis Street. It is only the second Historic Places Blue Plaque in Wellington, and it was generously funded by Priscilla Williams, Sally Hasell, Richard Norman and Wellington Historic Places Trust.
The event took place following the Church’s 10am service and the plaque was unveiled by Felicity Wong and Sheila Williams, and blessed by Archdeacon The Reverend Stephen King.
St Peter’s invited 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 was 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 was delighted to have played a small part on the project and we look forward to exploring opportunities with the team so that more Blue Plaques can appear on our wonderful inner-city buildings.
