context_page_description: Cranmer Square is an urban park in central Christchurch, New Zealand. It is located 800 metres northwest of the city's centre, Cathedral Square. The major arterial route of Montreal Street skirts the edge of the square.
  Like its near neighbour Latimer Square, Cranmer Square was named for an early protestant martyr, Bishop Thomas Cranmer. The historic Cranmer Court building was located close to Cranmer Square until it was demolished in the aftermath of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. The building had previously been a normal school, and in 1877 became the country's first teachers' training college. Celebrations fr the first successful trans-Tasman air flight, by Charles Kingsford-Smith, were held in Cranmer Square in late 1928.
  The square is grassed and crossed by concrete paths and edged by mature trees. It covers an area of 1.9 hectares.
