Wolsey Place in the suburb of Hillmorton, Christchurch

Wolsey Place – Named after Cardinal Wolsey (1471-1530). Wolsey was an Archbishop of York. Named because of its proximity to Cardinal Drive. Named in 1966.A small amount of information from the library website and I am amused that this time the website has his DOB as 1471 whereas for Cardinal Drive they had his DOB as 1473. The information that I put for Cardinal Drive relates to this street as well. A small street that ends at a wee park. One interesting fact is that this street had a footpath on both sides of the street whereas in more modern streets of this type tend to lack footpaths.
