    I knew there had been a church there due to looking online for another tag and finding the details of it and was going to tag a photo of the old church site when I saw the cemetery

    Flaxton – St Paul’s Anglican – Corner of Flaxton and Hicklands Roads.
    In 1866 the Torlesse Family donated land for a church to serve the people of
    the Rangiora and Mandeville Swamp areas, at the junction of the then named
    Rangiora and Eyre Roads. St Paul’s was consecrated on 25 March 1867 by
    Bishop Harper. It served nearby settlers as well as people from Eyreton until
    1875, but with poor roads and frequent floods communication was often
    difficult and the outcome was a decision to build at Eyreton where there was
    comparatively dry land and an increasing population.
    St Paul’s was still in use at Flaxton in 1920, but was demolished in 1934. The
    cemetery is still at the site.

    Although I'd say you were probably up the road slighty further in the carpark?

    Yep, but looking a the same puddle of water is near enough.

    I guess that shelves this one, no more borrowed time given the catalogue of clues, WDC carpark, building visiable through the gaps is the Rangiora library on Percival St. The next is a bit quirky or is that quercus
