There is no story in Canterbury like the one of the Deans Family - at Riccarton, Darfield, Coalgate, Gentunnel, Methven and Cheviot.
A fascinating blend of culture, history, family, romance, struggle, determination, loyalty and tragedy are just a few words to describe this story. Set in the rugged, untamed Canterbury Plains of the 1800's, this page retouches on the Deans family history, history of the Malvern Hills and current events at Homebush.
