Leamington Cemetery

Waipa District Council administers and manages 10 Lawn Cemeteries, including Hautapu, and now has an online cemetery database to assist people searching for plot locations of deceased friends and relatives in Waipa cemeteries.

Other than the 11 Colonial Soldiers buried between 1864 and 1866, the first civilian burial here seems to be Robert Montgomery, 17 August 1880. Robert was helping to build the fence at the new Cambridge West School when he injured his toe. He died of tetanus, aged 30 and left a wife and small son.

Bishop Selwyn had consecrated the 7 acres of the Cemetery Reserve in 1875.

The Cemeteries Act came into force 1 October 1882 and the Cambridge West residents approached their local authority – The Pukekura Road Board – to dedicate and open the reserve which had been intended for the purpose.

This was gazetted in 1905, increased to 13½ acres and a Board of Trustees elected. Two years later a small footbridge was erected over the creek in the cemetery gully, as this was the only way the coffins could be carried to the cemetery. The fee at this time was 8 shillings for a single plot.

The burial record seems to be a map and from what I can gather family members are buried throughout the cemetery but have been recorded on just the one headstone. The map shows only the surname so not everyone has been accounted for.

Up until July 1931 the plots measured 10 feet long by 6 feet wide and the paths between were 4 feet wide. This changed to plots aligned head to head 8 feet long and 4 feet wide and the path 4 feet six inches wide.

In 1942 the Leamington Town Board set aside 12 plots near the Colonial Monument, for returned soldiers. Four of these soldiers whose graves were unmarked were given headstones with a grant from ‘Year of the Veteran’ funding in 2006.
