Holy Trinity Church, New Plymouth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Holy Trinity Church in New Plymouth, New Zealand, is registered by Heritage New Zealand as a Category I structure. Built in 1872 as an Anglican church, it was extended in 1888 by and again in 1903 by , and renovated in 1927 (also by Messenger) and the 1960s. [1]

The building replaced the original chapel, which had been built in the 1840s, with the foundation stone laid by Bishop George Selwyn.[2] As such, the building was one of the first Anglican churches in Taranaki. The initial building was of board and thatch construction, and was only intended as a temporary structure. The advent of the Taranaki War and other factors, however, delayed the building of a permanent structure until 1872.[1]

The current building was entered on the New Zealand Historic Places Trust register on 23 August 2012. It is located in Henui Street in the suburb of Fitzroy.[3]
