St Joseph's Anglican Maori Church
St Joseph's Anglican Maori Church is located just on the outskirts of Awanui and was built roughly around 1887. It was given it's name in compliance with the wish of the principal chiefs in commemoration of of the missionary work done by Reverend Joseph Matthews and the ministry of lay-reader Joseph Poutama.
We visited this area in 2018 but never got to venture inside but still a nice tidy church and cemetery nonetheless.
