The First House on the Camterhory Mafias The house shown on the right of the illustration was built by William and John Deans in 1843 the first house on the Canterbury plains. The house on the left was built by the Deans a few years later and is now the oldest existing house in Christchurch. William and John Deans, then h.ds in their early twenties, arrived at Port Cooper, now Lyttelton, in 1843 to take up land near Christchurch. They called their farm Riccarton and the nearby river, the Avon, after places where they had lived in Scotland. The same year John went to New South Wales and brought back some cattle and 43 sheep—the first sheep to come to the Canterbury Plains. Neither of the brothers lived to see the success of their pioneering, William being drowned in Cook Strait in 1851 and John dying three years later. John’s young wife resolutely assumed the management of the farm and her name stands high in the history of our pioneer women. We of Tattersfield pay this tribute to those who pioneered sheep raising in this country and so enabled us, who came later, to make fine mattresses and floor rugs equal to anything in the World from New Zealand grown wool.
