Fendall Lane in the suburb of Fendalton, Christchurch

Fendall Lane – Named after Walpole Cheshire Fendall (1830– 1913). Named to pay tribute to Fendall whose land, Rural Section 18, 50 acres in Fendall Town, was subdivided to create what is known today as Fendalton. Named in 2015

A small amount of information from the library website. This was a private lane that isn’t even on Google maps yet. It looks like huge property that has been subdivided. I didn’t attempt to walk this one as it just looked like a driveway with one big house at the end. There were possibly other houses but the high fence hid them. my sons had a teacher called Mrs Fendall and I believe her husband was a descendant of this family.I couldn’t afford to live here as you need a million or two to afford these houses. If you want to know more about Walpole Fendall there is a reasonable amount of information online.
