History</h2>
<h4>
The first Catholic Church in Martinborough </h4>

The <a href="http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=NZT19090128.2.19.1&cl=search&srpos=30&e=-------10--21-byDA---0%22catholic+church%22+%22martinborough%22--&st=1">New Zealand Tablet, 28 January 1909</a> reports that </div>
<blockquote>
The Catholic Church Committee at Martinborough has decided to place three stained-glass windows in the church at a cost of £63 to the memory of late Messrs. P. Kane, J. Mack, and T. Sullivan.</blockquote>
Little more is known about this church, which was wooden, but newspapers throughout New Zealand reported that it had been totally destroyed by fire on the night of 10 October 1918. For the next few years Martinborough Catholics heard Mass in the Oddfellows' Hall.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Second and present Catholic Church in Martinborough</h4>
With the proceeds of the insurance claim - £350 - parishioners determined that they would build a more fire-proof church. Mr T. J. McCosker, who designed other Catholic churches in the Wellington region, drew up designs for the new church.<br />
<br />
It was built in ferro-concrete to make it fireproof. The contract was let in 1923, but the high price of cement and the difficulty of getting supplies to the site made the job very expensive. By the time the walls were up, the small Catholic congregation had exhausted its funds. By occurring significant debt the roof was put on and the church was blessed at the end of 1923 by Archbishop O'Shea.<br />
<br />
Because the small congregation's funds were exhausted the exterior and interior walls of the church remained as bare concrete until 1951, when Father V. J. McGlone encouraged another fundraising round of £700 and permission was given to go ahead with the plastering. The spring of that year was particularly wet and additional cost was incurred by having to hire scaffolding for some considerable time. Further fundraising was necessary. By 1952 the building was complete and looked much as it does today.<br />
<br />
<h4>
South Wairarapa Parish</h4>
In 1953, Martinborough was separated from Carterton and, with Featherston, became part of the South Wairarapa Parish.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Today</h3>
In a move driven by a serious shortage of priests, the <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/catholicparishofthewairarapa/home" target="_blank">Wairarapa Catholic Parish</a> (Masterton, Carterton, Martinborough Greytown and Featherston) was formed in 2015. The Parish Priest is Fr Bruce England, assisted by Fr Binu Matthew and Sharon Penny, lay pastoral leader.<br />
<br />
Following adverse engineers' reports, the Church of St Anthony of Padua is no longer in use and Vigil Mass is held in the hall at St Anthony's at 5.30 pm each Saturday.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">History</span></h2>
All Saints Church was consecrated in 1927. It was built by the Matthews family, who have a long association with the district, in memory of Alfred and Hannah Matthews, who died in 1926.<br />
<br />
It was Alfred Matthew's desire to have an ecumenical church as a place for the whole community to use, particularly for baptisms, weddings and funerals and as a memorial to the pioneers of the district.<br />
<br />
It was built by Watson and Johnson, at a cost of £1289 0s 3d. Apart from the addition of the church porch, consecrated on 22 May 1963, the church has altered little since it was first built.<br />

<i>A very few pioneer New Zealand families have lived and farmed their land for six, even seven generations. These New Zealanders and their stories, shaped by the land itself, are an important part of the history of Aotearoa. <br /> </i><br />
<i>This is the story of one such family whose forebears, Charles and Elizabeth Matthews, arrived in 1842 on the sailing ship London. They settled first in Wellington but, drawn by the pull of the land, moved to Wairarapa and purchased the first acres their descendants still farm today. Seven generations have lived on Waiorongomai. <br /> </i><br />
<i>Diaries written by Alfred Matthews, the memoirs of his grandson, Jack, and tape recorded conversations with more recent members of the family, all play a part in this history. It is the story of a family devoted to its farming, the development of one of the country’s leading Romney sheep studs and the passing on of a love of the land from one generation to the next. It is also dedicated to all the men and families who have worked on Waiorongomai over the last 160 years.</i><br />

<br />
As part of the immigration programme set in place by Julius Vogel's government to clear the Forty Mile Bush, the Norwegians settled in Mauriceville North. This settlement was physically separate from the Danish community in Mauriceville West as there was no road over North Hill.<br />
<br />
During the 1870s they were visited by Edward Neilson, a Norwegian Methodist minister. Although the Norwegians were originally Lutherans, encouraged by Edward Neilson (who spoke Norwegian, rather than Danish), they embraced Methodism.<br />
<br />
On 9 July 1881 the Norwegian Methodist Church was opened, built at a cost of £149 17s. 0d. Mr. W. G. Thomas from Greytown preached and Mr. Christoffersen translated to a congregation of 120. The collection was £6 0s. 2d.<br />
<br />
The original Danish Lutheran Church at Mauriceville West and the Scandinavian Methodist church at Mauriceville North were of contrasting architectural styles.<br />

The original Danish church had a solid square tower, reminiscent of the large stepped towers of Danish country churches, which were designed to provide a refuge for the community in case of hostile invasion. Norway, where cliffs and mountains were predominant, meant such towers were not necessary and so the churches were built with pointed steeples.<br />

Men sat on the right side of the aisle, while the women, wearing picturesque coloured scarves on their heads, sat on the left. During the day three services were held, making eight hours in total.<br />
<br />
An account of the opening of the church appeared in the <a href="http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&d=WDT18810916.2.8" target="_blank">Wairarapa Daily Times</a>:<br />

OUR SCANDINAVIAN MISSION<br />
[Abrigded [sic] from the New Zealand Wesleyan.] </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
When the train arrived at Masterton, at 10 o'clock on the morning of the 9th of July there was ready a trap with an intelligent driver in charge, waiting for the English preacher. In a very short time we were on the Opaki plains, and turning to the right, crossed a new bridge and went on the main road beyond, bending round to due north. Skirting some low hills we soon came again to open ground again; and a few miles further on we saw the dense bush, right and left, in every increasing quantity. A little beyond Dreyerton--nine miles north of Masterton--the scenery became more and more grand. All the materials for magnificent scenery were there--the immense trees were rearing their heads in the bright sunshine--totara, matai, rimu, and other varieties in great profusion. On either side were what poets call "the everlasting hills"--at any rate, the hills were there; but so thickly covered with forest trees that you could only see the rough outline of them. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
At last we turned off the main road to the left, ascending a hill and then descending into a finely-wooded valley--the outskirts of Mauriceville. Then we drove up the winding road of another ascent, and came to Mauriceville South. The settlers here had been industrious, and the forest was being transformed into small fertile farms. One more ascent, and then, when we had reached the summit, another valley appeared in sight. In a few minutes the larger part of Mauriceville North was visible. The most prominent feature in this settlement is our new church. It is built on a jutting knoll, part of the range of low hills on the right, and some fifty feet above the road. In front of the Church was a small flagstaff, to which was attached a red and white flag. Two other flags or banners, were gaily flying on or near the Church, on one of which was inscribed "Faith, Hope, and Charity." </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
At 3 p.m. 9th of July, the first service was held in the new Church. A foundation, or memorial stone was duly laid inside and beneath the communion rail. Pastor Neilson had travelled from Norsewood in order to be present and assist on this festive occasion. He and the resident pastor took an active part in the services. The Rev W.G. Thomas, from Greytown, gave an address explanatory of the doctrines, Sacraments, and discipline of the Christian religion as held by the Methodist Churches, Pastor Neilson translating it into Scandinavian. The people sang with all their hearts--"both young maids and men, old men and children." And when it was the music of their father-land, led by the good and clear voice of Pastor Neilson, the effect was most edifying. Pastor Christofferson read a document containing the history of the Mauriceville mission up to that date. This in Scandinavian, and a translation into English, with a New Testament, a copy of New Zealand Wesleyan for July and one of most recent copies of the WAIRARAPA DAILY were in due time deposited in a cavity of the memorial stone. Towards the close of this deeply interesting service came the collection. Neither the collector nor the people appeared to be at all scared at the sight of the bright plate that was passed round in the presence of the large congregation. I frankly confess it did my heart good to see how they managed the whole affair. There was no hurry, as if this, a necessary piece of business, must be got through with the utmost possible speed on account of its unpleasantness. The collector stood before you for a few seconds, and in the most modest and yet manly way, gave the impression that he expected you to contribute something, and that he was quite willing to wait in order to give you time enough to produce the cash. In about 9 or 10 minutes everybody had the opportunity to give, which they did in the most willing and cheerful manner. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
It may be well here to give a short description of the church and congregation. The building, outside measure, not including the base of the spire, is 31ft. 6in. by 18ft. It is capable of seating, with the gallery, 100 people. A good bell has been suspended in the tower, which is useful in such a scattered district in giving the people far and near due warning of the approaching service. The cost of the church, labor estimated and money given, amounts to £149 17s. Before these services were begun, the total debt was £11. Pastor Christofferson both planned and, to a very large extent, built the church with his own hands. His good lady did all the painting of the church, and a very good job she has made of it. On the Saturday and Sabbath the collections reached £6 0s 2d, leaving at that time the small balance of £5 deficit on the whole affair. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A central aisle divides the interior sitting accommodation. On the right hand side, as you enter the church from the front, are seated the men, and on the left the women. As a whole, both were intelligent looking, and most devout in their worship of God. In evidence of their intelligence, I noted the precision and accuracy in their enunciation of the vowels as they were singing together. Few English congregations pronounce their vowels so accurately. The women were remarkably neat in their appearance. Several of them--not yet Anglicised--wore colored handkerchiefs round their heads. Others had got more fully tinged with English notions about dress. Almost without exception, the attire was simple, neat, and good. All were good hearers: and, although only a part of the English portion of the services was understood by them, the attention and interest were well maintained throughout. The four services altogether occupied nearly eight hours, but I don't think I saw one person taking out his watch and clicking it as a broad hint to the preacher that he had had quite enough for that time. All seemed eager to hear about God and Jesus Christ who he has sent. W.G.T.</blockquote>
<br />
Until their own church was completed the people from the main settlement attended the north church, the children walking five miles and more to Sunday School.<br />
<br />
ln later years a Lutheran church was erected at Hastwells about a mile north of the Wesleyan church, services being conducted by the minister from Mauriceville West.<br />
<br />
On 9 July 2006 the church celebrated its 125th anniversary with a special service.<br />

St Francis Lutheran Church stands on a rise above Mauriceville West Road and dates from 1957. The church is immaculate, and looks well cared for and much loved. It sits among historic graves and overlooks the gently rolling hills of Mauriceville West.<br />

<h2>
History</h2>
During the1870s large numbers of Scandinavians from Denmark, Norway and Sweden emigrated to the northern Wairarapa as part of a Government scheme to clear the forty-mile bush. Many of the Danish families settled at Mauriceville West. Despite considerable hardship and poverty they began building the original church at Mauriceville West in 1882 and it was dedicated by Danish-born Pastor Jørgen Johansen Sass on 24 August 1884.<br />

The original church was of a typical Danish country church design, reminiscent of the large stepped towers of Danish country churches, designed to provide a place of refuge for the community in case of hostile invasion.<br />

The <a href="http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Cyc01Cycl-t1-body-d4-d92-d12.html">Cyclopedia of New Zealand</a>, 1897, noted<br />
<blockquote>
Mauriceville Lutheran Church is a handsome wooden building standing on an eminence in Mauriceville West. Accommodation is provided for about 200 worshippers. Services are held weekly. The Rev. <a href="http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/3c19/1">Mads Christensen</a> is the minister in charge.</blockquote>
Unfortunately the original church deteriorated and was demolished and the present church built in 1957, using voluntary labour and donated materials. The altar rails, the picture of Christ from above the altar and sacred vessels from the old church were incorporated in the new church.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Deconsecration </h2>
Sadly, with a reduction in congregation numbers, the church was deconsecrated following a service on 24 March 2019, with a view to relocating the building for other purposes.

The Frederic de Jersey Clere designed Anglican Church of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Cuthbert">St Cuthbert</a>, is in Church Street, Eketahuna. The church has two frontages, with the west end of the church facing Church Street and east end facing the Lockwood-design Parish Hall on Wilson's Lane. Hemmed in by other buildings on all sides except for the Church Street frontage, a wide-angle lens is needed to capture the elegant lines of this quintessential Clere design. <a href="http://www.historic.org.nz/TheRegister/RegisterSearch/RegisterResults.aspx?RID=1274">It has a Category II heritage listing, number 1274</a>.<br />

On 4 November1894, <a href="http://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nzetc.org%2Ftm%2Fscholarly%2Ftei-Cyc01Cycl-t1-body-d4-d22-d4.html&ei=XMUyTde0EsH78Ab0t7yCCQ&usg=AFQjCNH7O_bXCPpH1teg9KYm2elGDRULSw">Archdeacon Thomas Fancourt</a> made the first entry in the Eketahuna Baptismal Register. Services were initially held at Parkville, but winter conditions saw the services moved to Eketahuna; the Masonic Hall, Pelling's Hall and the Eketahuna Public Hall being used at various times.<br />
<br />
Until a priest-in-charge was appointed the local medical practitioner, Dr. Baker, together with <a href="http://www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Cyc01Cycl-t1-body-d4-d94-d3.html">Mr Thomas Lewis</a> (Stationmaster and Officer in Charge of the Post and Telegraph Office) had acted as lay readers on many occasions. Between 1896 and 1898, the Vicar of Masterton, the <a href="http://www.mastertonanglican.org/our-history/historical-reference-material-biographies/220-a-c-yorke-biography.html">Rev'd. A. C. Yorke</a>, together with his Assistant Curate, the Rev'd H. L. Monckton took services in whatever building was available.<br />
<br />
On 9 October 1895, the Evening Post describes Archdeacon Thomas Fancourt's plans for the Anglican Church in the "out districts."<br />
<blockquote>
He wished to place in Eketahuna a clergyman who was young and vigorous, able to spend half a day in the saddle visiting the many scattered town-ships and distant settlements.</blockquote>

In June 1896 a committee was formed and a site for an Anglican church donated by pastoralist and farmer, T. C Williams, who owned many of the business premises in Eketahuna, and whose brother Edward and missionary father Henry, translated the Treaty of Waitangi for Captain Hobson in 1840.<br />
<br />
The Feilding Star dated 8 October 1896 reports:<br />

Thanks to the exertions of Mr Innes Jones and of Mr Yorke the inhabitants of the Ongo, Apiti and the Eketahuna districts have raised money sufficient to justify a clergyman being sent to minister to them, provided that the fund is able to supplement their contributions for a short time.</blockquote>
The foundation stone for St Cuthbert's was laid by <a href="http://01cycl-t1-body-d4-d22-d3.htmlwww.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Cyc">Bishop Frederic Wallis</a> on 20 October 1896. Local carpenter, Mr T. Moss, using timbers supplied by Mr J. Drysdale, built the church at a cost of £300, to a design by architect <a href="http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/2c22/1">Frederick de Jersey Clere</a>.<br />

On 13 March 1898 the Rev'd John Walker was appointed Priest-in-Charge of the Eketahuna Mission District.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The first service in St Cuthbert's was held on 23 February 1899 at which the Rev'd Alfred Neild, Vicar of Pohangina, preached on Genesis 28:16:<br />
<blockquote>
Surely the Lord is in this place. This is none other than the house of God and this is the gate of heaven.</blockquote>
In 1900, with the church debt free, it was consecrated by Bishop Frederic Wallis.<br />
<br />

<br />
Mr Walker was succeeded in 1904 by the Rev'd Vincent Kitcat who, unlike Mr Walker, had a family which meant the parish had to provide a vicarage. Although he had donated the land for the church, Mr T C Williams was not amenable to an approach from the 1903 Vestry to buying the land opposite the church in Church Street. In 1904 one and three quarter acres of land was purchased in (then uncompleted) Haswell Street and the vicarage completed, with a loan from Mr Cecil Kebbell, by January 1906. This remained the vicarage for more than 50 years until a new vicarage was built in Church Street, directly opposite the church, when the Rev'd Ian Bourne was vicar.<br />
<br />
Following some damage to the roof and windows in the two 1942 earthquakes, the buttresses were strengthened.<br />

The Church of St Francis of Assisi sits on a terrace, high above the Tauweru River. It was built in 1875, on land donated in 1878 to the Church of England by David Carman, a former owner of parts of Bowlands. It has a <a href="http://www.historic.org.nz/TheRegister/RegisterSearch/RegisterResults.aspx?RID=1285">Category II heritage listing, register number 1285</a>.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The church is built of pit sawn timber, with the weatherboards running vertically instead of horizontally, and bears some similarities to <a href="http://wairarapachurches.blogspot.com/2010/09/st-andrews-martinborough.html">St Andrew's Anglican Church</a> in Martinborough and <a href="http://www.historicplaces.org.nz/placestovisit/lowernorthisland/oldstpauls.aspx">Old St Paul's in Wellington</a>. The church was built with a shingle roof, made of hand-split totara shingles, but this was covered with corrugated roofing iron in 1911.<br />
<br />

The church is tucked away, hidden from view, in <a href="http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?q=-40.859066,175.871884&num=1&sll=-40.860867,175.872272&sspn=0.006295,0.006295&ie=UTF8&ll=-40.858454,175.872273&spn=0.006832,0.01929&z=16&iwloc=near">Waterfalls Road, Bideford</a>. Waterfalls Road dips down to cross a low-lying bridge across the Tauweru River. It makes access to the church somewhat challenging when the weather has been wet, as the roadway is very muddy and prone to flooding.<br />

<h2>
History</h2>
The Rev. C H Gossett was the first clergyman to live in Bideford. He came from Bideford in Devon and suggested the name Bideford for the district, in preference to Upper Taueru.<br />

St Francis is part of <a href="http://www.mastertonanglican.org.nz/" target="_blank">Masterton Anglican Parish</a> and its first Vicar, the Rev. J. F Teakle, gave permission for Bideford Church to serve as the local hall and schoolroom. Presbyterian services were also held for a time at the church. A schoolroom and residence was subsequently built on the section to the west of the church.<br />

<br />
The remoteness of the church within the geographically widespread parish of Masterton, combined with wet weather making access via Waterfalls Road impassable, means that the timetable for monthly services was frequently subject to change.<br />

<br />
Notes from St Matthew's parish magazines of the 1920s give some idea of the on-again, off-again nature of Bideford services.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<i>December 1922</i><br />
We have made a start with the services here again and have met with encouragement. Mrs Falloon kindly acts as organist and the singing so far has been most hearty. The next service at Bideford will be on December 24th, at 11 am, when we hope to be able to say our prayers and sing our hymns in some shady place outside. Christmas hymns, please!<br />
<br />
<i>March 1923</i><br />
The services at Bideford are going ahead well, and our thanks are due largely to Mrs Falloon for playing and other small duties, such as letting others know when the hour of a service is altered for unavoidable reasons. At Christmas time we had the Church decorated, a little bit of work and kindly thought which was greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
<i>July 1923</i><br />
The services here keep up well in spite of the wintry weather of the last few months. If only we could get the Church Room moved into an accessible place when the school is moved!<br />
<br />
<i>August 1923</i><br />
We were sorry that the very bad weather on July 22nd broke the sequence of services at Bideford. It was impossible for both parson and people. We trust that on August 26th, our next Sunday service at Bideford, we shall resume with a good muster of worshippers.<br />
<br />
<i>September 1923</i><br />
We were sorry that, owing to shortage of staff, Bideford had to go without another monthly service. The next service will be held on Sept. 30th, the last not the fourth Sunday in the month.<br />
<br />
October 1923<br />
The services at Bideford have commenced again after the break due to bad weather. Mrs Falloon has again been instrumental - in more than one way - in keeping up the service.<br />
<br />
<i>January 1924</i><br />
At Bideford on the Sunday before Christmas we had an unusual Christmas service. The weather being so hot we chose the kindly shade of a big native tree near the river and there sang our Christmas hymns and joined in the worship heartily. Some people imagine that unaccompanied singing is wanting in heartiness. They should have heard us at BIDEFORD and at WESTMERE where we had to sing without an instrument.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<i>July 1926, Bideford</i><br />
Services have been arranged for the fifth Sunday in the month. Will friends kindly make a note of the new arrangement and intimate the same to any who possibly have not been notified.</blockquote>

<b>Centenary: 1875-1975</b><br />
On 11 October 1975 the Bideford church celebrated its centenary. This was marked by a weekend of festivities, which included a pageant on the life of St Francis of Assisi by children of Bideford School, and by the <a href="http://mastertonanglican.org/our-history/185-bideford-dedication-service-1975.html">dedication and naming of the church as St Francis by the Bishop of Wellington</a>, the Rt Rev. Edward Norman, who arrived at the service in a horse and gig.<br />

</div><div>The first Presbyterian church in the Wairarapa was built near the site of the current church in June 1871. At that time the township was known as Waihenga, with its centre at the southern end of the present Martinborough. Simply named <i>Waihenga Church</i>, it was the second building in the town, built on land donated by J. D. Baird.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Martinborough historian Mate Higginson, in the <i>Wairarapa Midweek</i>, June 21,2011 says:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"The building of the church came into being after a gathering of like-minded people met at the Ruamahunga River Crossing. Previously worship had been held at the Smiths' residence in Waihenga," Mate says. </blockquote><blockquote>The building, constructed from timber milled at Moiki, is believed to have cost somewhere in the vicinity of £141. The church featured a gabled roof with timber shingles and sawn timber walls, but no porch or steeple. It was large enough to fit three rows of wooden pews--one of which can be found on display in the Martinborough Museum. </blockquote><blockquote>Records show the first service was held one afternoon in early June by the Rev. James Patterson, who was assisted by the Rev. John Ross and James Laurie. </blockquote><blockquote>Parishioner numbers increased steadily and by 1879, under the leadership of the Rev. James Lymburn, it became clear the congregation had outgrown the tiny venue. </blockquote><blockquote>The present church, with the original church serving as a vestry at the rear, was designed by C J Toxward and built by William Benton. It opened in 1891 on a section on the corner of Weld and Jellicoe Streets, costing £462. </blockquote><blockquote>In 1896 a decision was made to move the original church to the rear of the new building, where it would be used as a vestry. Local builder William Boyd won the contract, and it was relocated using a traction engine. </blockquote><blockquote>In 1921 it was suggested that the church's name be changed, although it was to be another 30 years before it was officially named First Church on July 1, 1951. </blockquote><blockquote>"The little church has had many a role to play in our community," says Mate, "the first being in 1872 when the first public school was held there. </blockquote><blockquote>"Mr Scott, the first teacher spent half his time at Kaiwaiwai and half at Waihenga. After the great school fire on July 29, 1919, the church was once again used as a classroom. </blockquote><blockquote>"The little Waihenga Church has stood the test of time--140 years of helping Martinborough people along life's highway. </blockquote><blockquote>The church celebrates its 140th birthday with a luncheon in the church hall on Sunday, July 3, 2011.</blockquote></div><div><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">The Cyclopedia of New Zealand, 1897 says -</div><blockquote><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Martinborough Presbyterian Church—a wooden structure which accommodates about 180 people—was built in 1891. Churches at Lower Valley, Featherston, Kaiwaiwai, Morrison Bush, and back country are worked from Martinborough. An organ and a choir materially add to the attractiveness of the services at the Martinborough Church. Messrs. W. and J. Macleod and D. MeMaster are the members of the session, the board of management consisting of eight representatives from the various places of meeting. A comfortable manse with a glebe of eight acres is occupied by the minister. In connection with the church there is a successful Band of Hope and the usual Bible classes.</div></blockquote><br />
<blockquote>Rev. James Lymburn, the Minister in charge of the Martinborough Presbyterian Church, was born in Hawick, Roxburghshire, Scotland, in 1854. After completing his education at the parish school, he went to work, serving an apprenticeship to a carver and gilder.

<blockquote>
[The] Church of England, Martinborough, is a wooden building that was considerably enlarged in the beginning of 1896, and is now one of the finest little wooden churches in the district. Services are held every Sunday by the Rev. A. V. Grace, assisted by lay readers. There is a good choir under the leadership of Mr. Lee.</blockquote>

<b>History of Alfredton</b><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Joseph Masters, responsible for establishing the small farm settlements in Masterton and Greytown, had had even bigger plans for Alfredton. The plan of streets and roads - most of which were never built - can still be seen on cadastral maps of the Alfredton area, and were subject to much speculative buying and selling of sections.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Two main problems contributed to the failure of Joseph Masters' plan for Alfredton. The soil was poor and the climate much harsher than the lower reaches of the Wairarapa, and it was hard to eke out a living. But it was Premier Julius Vogel's decision in the 1880s to take the railway line north from Mauriceville to Eketahuna, rather than through Alfredton, that stopped Alfredton in its tracks.<br />

</div><div>In 1966 Tinui Anglican Parish sold one of its sections to fund other parish building projects. In 1979, Vicar Roger Burt reported to the vestry - </div><div><br />
</div><div><blockquote>It occurs to me that it is a waste to have two churches in Tinui Village. St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church is only used three or four times a year. Does the PCC think it is possible that we should approach St. Patrick's PCC as to the viability of of moving the church to our section at Riversdale? It would cost about $1500 to do so. The cost should be shared and it could be a good ecumenical exercise.</blockquote><br />
In November 1979, he further reported to the vestry -<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Rev Fr Bernard Miles and I have come to a verbal agreement regarding the movement and tenure of St Joseph's Church, at present at Tinui. We have offered to supply half the removal costs of the Church to Riversdale and to use our section. In response the Roman Catholics have offered us their section and joined use agreement that we have with them at St Andrew's Whareama. The church will remain their property, but we will have use of it when required. Such things will yet have to be confirmed.</blockquote><br />

<br />
The church was founded by Haimona Patete of Ngata Kuia and Ngata Koata. In the 1890s he had a vision and founded the church to minister to the needs of Maori and unite all tribes in one flock. The Church had strong links with the Church of England, and many of the services were similar, except for the Holy Communion, as they could not reconcile eating the body and blood with their idea of a divine figure.<br />
<br />
Taiawhio Te Tau, a prominent Māori within the Wairarapa, was also very involved with setting up the church and was its first Bishop. The Dictionary of New Zealand Biography, Volume III, notes:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In 1901 Taiawhio became interested in Te Hahi o te Ruri Tuawhitu o
Ihowa (also called the Church of the Seven Rules of Jehovah), which
originally developed in Marlborough. Within a short period he became
heavily involved in its activities as it took root within Wairarapa
Maori society. As one of the proprietors of the Maori newspaper Matuhi,
Taiawhio appears to have played a major role in the development of the
church’s theological tenets and in promoting its cause. He bought a
printing press for the paper, and installed his wife as editor. The
paper was published regularly between 1903 and 1906. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The church’s teachings were based on the multitude of uses of the
number seven in the Bible, and on a belief in the Kingdom of God being
brought about in a series of stages. Its dogma included the divine
descent – in seven stages – of the English and Maori Kings. Later, a
descent line of Maori prophetic authority was added. This carried a
Wairarapa bias and featured Paora Te Potangaroa and H. P. Tunuiarangi,
Taiawhio’s half-brother. Taiawhio was a keen student of the prophecies
of Te Potangaroa, and he subsequently linked the church’s origin and
development to him. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In 1910 Taiawhio was elected to the office of district bishop within
the Church of the Seven Rules of Jehovah. Later that year he was created
the principal bishop of the whole church, retaining this position until
1925. He regularly led the church in large gatherings to celebrate
Christmas and other important events, such as the coronation of King
George V in 1911 and the opening of Nukutaimemeha meeting house in 1918.
Taiawhio also helped to co-ordinate a large meeting at Te Ore Ore, near
Masterton, to analyse Paora Te Potangaroa’s prophecies. In 1921 he
arranged the erection of a memorial in Masterton Park (Queen Elizabeth
Park) to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Te Potangaroa’s utterance of
his main prophecies.</blockquote>
<br />
The church had seven guiding principles: Life, Goodness, Love, Knowledge, Strength, Truth and Authority, together with sayings for each day of the week.<br />
<br />
Monday: If the feet sin look to Life<br />
Tuesday: If the hands sin look to Goodness<br />
Wednesday: If the mouth sins look to Love<br />
Thursday: If the eyes sin look to Knowledge<br />
Friday: If the ears sin look to Strength<br />
Saturday: If the heart sins look to Truth<br />
Sunday: If the body sins look to Authority<br />

The church reached its zenith in 1915, but declined in the 1920s, with the death of Haimona Patete and the rise of the Ratana Church, with many transferring to the Ratana Church in the 1920s. The 1945 census recorded only 15 adherents, and the 1966 census, only one.<br />

The church building was used for a time by the Anglican Parish of Tinui for services at Homewood, although it was in a very dilapidated condition. This 1999 photo by Gareth Winter shows the church prior to restoration in 2000.<br />

<br />
The name 'maunga' is the Māori word for mountain or peak. 'Moria' appears to be a reference to the mount in the land of Moria where Isaac sacrifices his son (Genesis 22).<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For some years the parish of Tinui used the <a href="http://wairarapachurches.blogspot.com/2010/09/maunga-moria-homewood.html">Church of the Seven Rules of Jehovah</a>, also on Homewood Road, at Okautete, for their services. The church was in a poor state of repair (it has since been restored) so a new church, which would also serve as a focus for the community, was planned.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Homewood Estate gifted the site - section 772 Block 4 of the Kaiwhata Survey District - and generous donations allowed the building to proceed. Designs were submitted by Masterton architects Inkster and McArthur, whose third plan was accepted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The foundation stone was laid on 26 November 1960, by the Rt. Rev. W N Panapa, Bishop of Aotearoa, assisted by the Vicar of Tinui, the Rev. Ted Dashfield, and the Maori Pastor for the Wairarapa, the Rev. G P Cook.</div>

Once the church was dedicated, work continued to provide furnishings for the church and pay off the loan made by the Diocesan Home Mission Fund. Finally debt-free, the church was consecrated by the Rt. Rev Edward Norman on 4 June 1978.</div>

The Church of St John the Evangelist was formerly part of the Anglican Parish of Tinui. With insufficient congregation in the Homewood area and services having ceased, it was offered to the Homewood community. It was bought by the Tatham family, who have had made alterations to the building to turn it into a cafe in 2022 - the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063345121572" target="_blank">Homewood Storeroom</a>.<br />
