From 1902 services were held in local homes at Niagara and Waikawa, the dates dependent on “Paddy’s lantern”, the full moon, so that parishioners could see to travel to the service. The foundation stone was laid on 1 May 1930 and the church was opened and dedicated by Bishop Richards on Thursday 10 March 1932. The Vicar then was the Rev WHS Hine. Sadly, with a dwindling congregation, the church was closed in 1994. https://discover.stqry.com/v/catlins-coastal-heritage-trail/s/ad875be907684267d81958e2cb3d6083

I love discovering little churches like this, although it's not used anymore it's good to see it still looked after.
