| 説明 | Taranaki Anglican Cathedral, 37 Vivian St. This newish cathedral is situated in the cathedral church of St Mary. Taranaki was part of the Diocese of Waikato (Hamilton) when it was formed in 1926. Then it became a pro cathedral church in 1976 with the first Bishop of Taranaki being appointed in 1999 but there were two bishops in the one diocese. Taranaki Cathedral was only created in 2010 for the Diocese of Waikato and Taranaki. In 2013 the current bishop Philip Richardson was ordained as the archbishop of New Zealand Aotearoa and Polynesia. Reverend William Bolland was appointed as the first vicar in 1842 after Bishop Selwyn obtained a free land grant for the church from the Crown. Rev Bolland opened the first St Mary’s church in 1846 but he contracted a fever and died in 1847(aged 27 years) whereupon he was buried in the new cemetery surrounding the church. The first part of St Mary’s Anglican Church was built in 1845/46 making it the oldest stone church in New Zealand. The original church was a small rectangular church designed by architect Frederick Thatcher, an architect used for many ecclesiastical buildings by Bishop Selwyn (remember buildings in Parnell in Auckland). The nave was extended between 1859 and 1862 when the porch was also added in the same style of Frederick Thatcher’s original nave. In 1893 another major NZ architect Benjamin Mountford of Christchurch added the apse, the chancel, the sanctuary and the organ chamber. In 1915 another architect designed All Saints side chapel and the northern transept. The grounds include the historic New Plymouth cemetery with grand English trees. During the Taranaki Wars the British troops took over the cemetery and penned their bullocks here! The cemetery includes memorials for the Boer War, the Maori chiefs, the Taranaki Militia, etc.Inglewood. Like Stratford further out Inglewood was also settled after the Maori Taranaki Wars of the 1860s when land was confiscated from the rebelling Maoris. Prime Minister Julius Vogel wanted the area settled by Europeans and his assisted migration program saw the district settled by English, Prussians, Danes and Swiss. The town was established in 1873 after the forests were cleared and the railway from New Plymouth reached the burgeoning town in 1875. The town is not known for its historical buildings but in the main street you will see St Andrews Anglian Church which was built in 1922(number 106 left) and Nelson’s Bakery was built in 1928 (number 45 right), the old Shoe Store (1910) is on a corner and brightly painted (number 58 -left), and the old railway station which was built in 1876 to a standard Vogel Prime Ministership era design. It was expanded in 1891 and 1897. The town claims that is has the largest rhododendron in New Zealand. The variety behind the local War memorial is Sir Robert Peel. |
