Country Churches of NZ 136. St.Luke’s, Ngahere,Westland
I wrote and illustrated Country Churches of New Zealand. It was published in 2002 by New Holland, Publishers and is still on sale in bookshops. The publishers have kindly agreed to me re-publishing some of the book’s images and descriptions in this blog.
ST. LUKE’S, NGAHERE
There’s nothing special about St. Luke’s at Ngahere on the Grey River, but its fresh, bright restoration which was still in progress offered me the opportunity to use some of the colours from the ‘hundreds-and-thousands’ end of my paint box.
It was built to plans given by Ralph Tyler of Greymouth and it has a twin in the Rai Valley.
The foundation stone was laid by the Bishop of Nelson, Rt. Reverend P. W. Stephens D. D. on 21 September 1952.

These rendering in color pencil and watercolor renderings reminds me of my high school days where I did over a 100 renderings of houses, buildings and landscape…hope I can do that again someday…
