This is the second church in the small town of Okaihau in the far north. In early 1874 a Captain Burleigh applied to the Anglican Church Missionary Society in England to provide funds to build the first church in Okaihau. The land was donated by the owner of the general store and Totara tree timbers were used and donated. The St Catherine's church is still being used today by the local community.
Linking up with Mosaic Monday.

...a lovely wee church!
So well maintained - a really neat wee church.
Beautiful photo of that small wooden church and the cemetery. I read that the totara tree is a true New Zealand tree and can live up to 1,000 years. Remarkable.
voilà un endroit charmant, et pas seulement pour y reposer en paix
This church is a beauty. Many of our small churches are closing.
I really like those wooden churches. Lovely
