St Lukes Anglican Church

 


This church is a tiny little one down a quiet country road in Whataroa and was dedicated on 10th July 1919. 


These stained glass windows were apparently given to the church by Henry Burrough and his sister in memory of their brother Joseph Burrough who died on active service in France on 22 June 1917.

The inside is well maintained, tiny and looked after. Apparently it's still holding services each week and is under the umbrella of the Christchurch diocese.


I was surprised I could open the door as many country churches are locked. This building was put together from an unused church originally located in Goldsborough



There is no cemetery attached as there is a main one further into town along the main street.
