Help us keep Ngaio Marsh House open to the public and preserve this precious cultural heritage of New Zealand for future generations.
Canterbury
Dame Ngaio Marsh is New Zealand's own Queen of Crime fiction. She was an internationally acclaimed author, theatre director and artist. Ngaio Marsh wrote most of her books in her house in Christchurch, where she lived for 72 years.
Ngaio's house is preserved as a museum, it remains much as she lived in it. It is a Category 1 historic place and the garden is a registered heritage garden. Our aim is to open the house to everyone so they can come see this important building and hear more about a New Zealander who was well ahead of her time.
The house is more than 100 years old. While we have fundraised to carry out significant works, the house continues to need major work, such as restoration of windows, repairing of parts of the roof, improving the driveway, and stabilising retaining walls.
We are a very small, entirely voluntary-run trust who need support if we are to maintain this property and keep it open to the public.
Ngaio Marsh House and Heritage Trust Inc was established in 1992 to preserve and maintain Marton Cottage, the home of the late Dame Ngaio Marsh.
