Anglican Cathedrals of Aotearoa New Zealand

Parnell, Auckland
Cathedral of the Holy Trinity
The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity is one of several buildings in close proximity which span the history of the Anglican Church in New Zealand. Situated in the suburb of Parnell about 2 kilometres from the heart of Auckland, the largest, most populous and most northerly city in New Zealand, the Cathedral, with its blend of traditional English Gothic chancel and dramatically modern nave stands in a precinct with beautiful St Mary's, the former Cathedral Church, reputedly the largest wooden Gothic Revival church in the world - and certainly one of the most beautiful.
Hamilton
St Peter's Cathedral: www.stpeterscathedral.nzl.org
Please note: the URL really is .nzl.org
Modelled on a 15th Century Norfolk Church and designed in ferro-concrete by Warren and Blechynden of Hamilton, the present St Peter's was completed in 1916 and was the fourth church to be built and the third on this site.

St Peter's Cathedral is the mother church for the Anglican Diocese of Waikato and shares this role with St Mary's Pro Cathedral in New Plymouth. The Cathedral is also a vibrant parish in its own right with the Dean of the Cathedral as its Vicar.

Wellington
Cathedral of St Paul: cathedral.wellington.net.nz
The Cathedral of St Paul is the parish church for the people of Thorndon and the 'mother church' of the Diocese of Wellington The fine acoustic makes it a sought after venue for concerts, both choral and orchestral.

Completed finally in 2000 it includes things of historic interest to Wellington and New Zealand such as the Chanuk Bair Memorial, the Flag Room, the Women's Memorial and a tribute to the business community of Wellington.

Christchurch
ChristChurch Cathedral: www.christchurchcathedral.co.nz
The building takes its name from the Oxford University college of Christ Church in the UK and links into the European cathedral tradition. But it was conceived and crafted to belong in New Zealand. Ceiling timbers of matai and totara come from Banks Peninsula and stone from nearby quarries.

Art work around the walls express the different cultures - Maori, Polynesian and Pakeha - that make up the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia.
