New cemetery added – South Malvern Cemetery, Glentunnel

That’s right, another cemetery has been added!

This time it’s the gorgeous wee rural cemetery located on the outskirts of Glentunnel in the Selwyn District of Canterbury. It may be small, but this cemetery is packed with interesting old gravestones.

If you ever find yourself in Glentunnel, be sure to check out the museum, it’s stuffed to the gills with local memorabilia, along with photographs of old settlers and the items they would have been familiar with in their day to day lives in the area.

We’ll be adding to this cemetery in the course of the next week or so, so check back often.

Happy Hunting.
