i thought i might be too late



i found it on google on the historic places trustr website here

Would like to haved looked inside,we are doing a church in Stokes Valley at the moment some of the details are proving a bit of a headache...

St Alban's is the second church to be built in Pauatahanui. It is located on the site of the pa Matai Taua, built in 1846 by the Ngati Toa leader, Te Rangihaeata, nephew of Te Rauparaha. In 1857 W. Blackie built a small interdenominational chapel on land donated by a local settler, Thomas Hollis Stace, for the purpose. By 1890 the chapel, which was also used for a schoolroom, was too small. The parish undertook to raise the money for a new church, and eventually the architectural practice of Clere, Fitzgerald and Richmond was commissioned to draw up the plans. The foundation stone was laid in August 1895, and Bishop Wallis consecrated the church in 1898 on St Alban the Martyrs Day (17 June). The original chapel remained standing until 1908 when it was demolished.


A simple Gothic Revival church, the building has lancet windows, external timber-framed buttresses and, in the interior, scissor trusses with knee braces. The apse is semi-circular in plan. In general the building is timber-framed, with rusticated weatherboards on the exterior and tongue and groove lining in the interior. It has a steeply pitch corrugated iron roof.

St Alban's church has served the Pauatahanui community for over 100 years. It has strong links to the early farming community of Pauatahanui, which raised the money for its construction. St Alban's has architectural significance as a well-resolved timber, Gothic church designed by Clere, Fitzgerald and Richmond, one of the most prominent architectural practices in Wellington. Frederick de Jersey Clere (1856-1952) was a noted architect in Wellington and, from 1883, was Diocesan Architect of the Anglican Church.

I just went and had a look. Just as I arrived a gentleman on a Black Katana pulled out of the driveway. I didn't speak with him but I assumed his reason of being there was the same as mine. So if he was there for that reason he can have the tag. He better post it quick though seeing BMWST? in planning on going there this afternoon as well.

crap i knew i shouldnt have
1) given out teh clues
2)wimped out this morning
post up your pic too cloggy,i have updated the map..exactly the right spot on satelite view!

[Cloggy]

Sorry, I didn't take a pic after seeing Hawkeye there. I was pretty certain he was there for that very reason.
Good to see that there is some competition to get these tags.
I'll have to have a look to see if the other tagging games around the country are as fast moving as ours.

I'll have to have a look to see if the other tagging games around the country are as fast moving as ours.

Auckland had had every tag gone within 36 hours of it being posted.

Until I posted up the latest one...

[Cloggy]

I just hope you never come down here and steal our tag.
We'd probably end up with it being stuck on Kapiti Island or something.

[BMWST?]

for the record ANYONE can come and get our tag,but it must be posted back in the welly region.Thats the way it is played in the original games.It is the Welly tag o rama...not northland... or... southland,but ANYONE can play.If people want a bigger game start a NI one or NZ one

great grab! now for those of us who ride with blinkers on where is it and what is it?Make the location pretty exact so we can put it on the map.I try to put the position of the picture on the map,not nec the "feature"

[Hawkeye]

Well done Devo.


It's right on the end of Takapu Road as you pull off the motorway at Granada. It's on the entrance to Ablaze.
You can actually see it from the motorway heading south as you come around the bend by the Granada/Tawa slip road.

Now where to Devo....
