Woburn, New Zealand
Woburn is a suburb of Lower Hutt, Wellington situated at the bottom of the North Island of New Zealand.
Henry Petre farmed the area in the 1840s and named the area after the Duke of Bedford's estate, Woburn Abbey. Petre's farm was later taken over by Daniel and Harriet Riddiford, whose descendants built a large home there, with the land being gradually subdivided. Riddiford Street in Lower Hutt commemorates them.
