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.

Richmond School Roll of Honour

In April we posted an entry on this page about the Richmond School Roll of Honour. That article posed some questions about the board. After some further research we now have a better idea of board's history. The 10-page document below summarises these findings and tells the story of the Roll of Honour as we know it so far. 

Following the closure of Richmond School at the end of 2013, the Roll of Honour was moved to Avebury House, along with the school's academic honours board and a smaller WW2 memorial. All three items are available for viewing in the Gordon Prince room, downstairs at Avebury House.

If anyone has more information to share about the board or any of the 325 people commemorated there, please get in touch at Avebury House.

The L.M. ISITT on the board will be later (WWII) Air Vice Marshall Leonard Monk ISITT.
"He was New Zealand's signatory to the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay on September 1945. Isitt retired as chief of air staff in 1946."
His Cenotaph database record here:

His family is buried in Linwood cemetery:

NB: His father was also named Leonard Monk ISITT.
