Summary

[edit]
Description

William Lee Plunket, 5th Baron Plunket (1864-1920) was a British diplomat and administrator. He served as Governor of New Zealand from 1904-1910. Lord Plunket succeeded Earl Ranfurly, arriving in Wellington on 20 June 1904.

Lord Plunket’s wife, Lady Victoria Plunket, was the Plunket Society’s first patron and and gave the organisation its name. Lord Plunket donated New Zealand's premier cricket trophy, the Plunket Shield, as well as the Plunket Medal competed for annually by the Victoria University of Wellington Debating Club.

The image above shows a letter from Alfred Lyttelton, Secretary of State for the Colonies, acknowledging that Plunket had “assumed the Government of New Zealand.”
