thumb The Massey Memorial is the mausoleum of New Zealand Prime Minister William Massey, at Point Halswell on the Miramar Peninsula, Wellington, New Zealand. ==History== Massey was Prime Minister from 1912 to 1925, when he died in office. After his death parliament passed the Massey Burial-ground Act, which allocated 0.8 hectares of land for a burial ground for him and his widow Christina.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 New Zealand Legislation: Massey Burial-Ground Act 1925 )〕 The land had been used for defence purposes during World War I and had lain unused since then. A fort was converted to a crypt and a gun-pit lined with marble to serve as a vault. The rest of the memorial was completed in 1930 at a cost of £15,000, most of which was raised by public subscription.
