Nelson Cathedral - Church Hill
From Church Hill, the Cathedral overlooks the city business district. Built mainly of Takaka marble, the cathedral is set in a garden with many outstanding trees.

Church Hill is rich in the history of Nelson. The Maori name for the hill is Pikimai (climb up here) and had been the site of a pa. Newly-arrived immigrants were housed there, as was the Post Office, the New Zealand Company's storerooms and barracks, the Examiner offices, the courthouse, and the hospital tent. The grounds include part of the original ramparts of Fort Arthur, built by the early settlers after the Wairau Affray in 1843. The present cathedral is the third church building on the site and was completed in 1965. Open for public viewing.

Update...just added to workshop the church from the outside.

Hi Tracy, these windows have pretty and colourful designs on them. Quite different from the usual stained glass windows.
I would like to see more of the top of the window frame though - there is a lot of extra space at the top.
Interesting notes too,
Janice

Hello Dear Tracey
Superb capture.
The faded light coming in has been captured very well.
Great.
