The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Wellington Provincial District]

[Beaconsfield]

The postal name of this settlement appears to have been derived from Mr. W. C. Cunningham, who acts as postmaster, mails arriving and departing tri-weekly. The district, which is more commonly known as Beaconsfield, is in the Electoral District of Rangitikei and in the County of Kiwitea. It is eleven miles distant from Makino, which is the nearest telegraph office and railway station. The Beaconsfield School District is under the Wanganui Education Board. The surrounding district is settled by well-to-do farmers.
