context_page_description: Latimer Square is an urban park in central Christchurch, New Zealand. It is located 400 metres east of the city's centre, Cathedral Square. The square lies between the major urban thoroughfares of Gloucester Street and Worcester Street.
  Many of the buildings which surrounded Latimer Square were either destroyed during, or demolished in the aftermath of, the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, among them Radio Network House. Since the earthquake, the square has been the site of the city's temporary Anglican Cathedral. The Christchurch Club's buildings, still undergoing repair after the earthquake, is also located on Latimer Square.
  Like its near neighbour Cranmer Square, Latimer Square was named for an early protestant martyr, Bishop Hugh Latimer. One of Christchurch's first stone churches, St John the Baptist Anglican church, was built close to the square in 1864.
  The square is grassed and crossed by concrete paths and edged by mature trees. It covers an area of a little over 1.8 hectares. A sculpture, commemorating the loss of ChristChurch Cathedral in the 2011 earthquake was installed by its artist, Neil Dawson, in the square in 2014.
