Richmond History Group

The Richmond History Group is based at Avebury House. The group maintains a collection of books, photographs and other memorabilia illustrating and recording the history of Avebury House and the development of the surrounding suburb of Richmond. We seek to expand the collection and have begun a project to digitise items from the collection and make them available online. This is a work-in-progress and we will be adding items to this site from now on.

If you have photographs or other material concerning Richmond’s past, we would love to hear from you. Perhaps you would like to donate items to the collection, or allow us to view the material and if suitable, borrow items for recording and adding to our digital archive. We would of course return the items to you in the same condition as we received them.

If you would like to learn more about the group, or become involved, please contact Andrea at 381-6615.

Hadfield Family History

This document was prepared by Roger Hadfield for a family reunion which was held in Richmond in 2016. It traces the story of the Hadfield family, who were early residents in Richmond. Joseph Hadfield, his wife Ann and two children came to Christchurch from England in 1862. In 1865 Joseph purchased eight acres of land on Stanmore Rd when the area was outside the city and was still swamp-land; in the 1863 Black Map the area is described as ‘swamp, raupo and tussock’. Later he built a large two-storey house here with a considerable garden at 300 Stanmore Rd. The weeping elm on Stanmore Rd by the supermarket is the only surviving remnant.

Although the house is gone, the Hadfield family retain a strong connection to Richmond. Our thanks to the family who have given their permission for us to include this valuable document here.

Hunting deer is not an easy task. I know that survival shows like to present them as an easy task, but believe me, that is not always the case. I know lots of people who thought that it would be easy to do it, and they all ended up regretting it. If you ask me, it is better to just go and hunt rabbits than to hunt deer. Well, deers are actually animals that fight back, they can even inflict mortal wounds.
