Questions, answered briefly

What is this?

A plaque of Christchurch, standing at Heathcote Domain, Com Centre in Heathcote Valley, one record on the council’s plaque register for the public estate.

What does it say?

The words above, verbatim, the surveyor’s transcription, casing, spelling and typos as they were read off the stone plinth. The register does not say who the name belonged to; the dedication is the whole of the record.

Is the plaque still standing?

The register marks it in service, commissioned 1899. The books' word, though, a plaque may have weathered since the survey, and the pin is the record’s position.

The record behind this
