It was a pleasure to sit and paint this four-square, well-kept and obviously much loved church near Gisborne. The grounds were like a window box of colourful flowers.
In researching it for Country Churches of New Zealand I found an intriguing history but this is not the place to tell it. You can find it on this blog if you enter 'Matawhero' in the search box.
Good hunting!
