19th century cemetery on land set aside in 1841.
Huge controversy prevailed in the 1960s over the proposed selection of the cemeteries area for the route of Wellington 's motorway. This section of the motorway was opened on 21 May 1978. A promise to build a linking piazza never eventuated and a more modest footbridge over the motorway was constructed instead. The overall damage to the cemetery was considerable and marked a turning point on Wellington 's attitude to conservation questions.
