Overview

Built from March 1847 and consecrated by Bishop Selwyn later that year, it was registered on 23 June 1983 by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust as a Category I historic place with registration number 13. [1]

The chapel was designed by Frederick Thatcher and built at a cost of NZ£330. The belfry was added in the early 1870s. In 1959, the Chapel was enlarged by extending it to the west and matched the original kauri and tōtara timber. The altar dates from 1934 and the altar candlesticks are made from wood from St Botolph's Church, Boston, Lincolnshire. The bell is made from metal from bells originally in York Minster. [2]
