A Touch of Timaru’s Heritage
The Anglican Church adds its graceful presence to the historic character of my South Island home.
St Mary’s Anglican Church with the distinct 32 metres tall tower makes the church a landmark in Timaru, playing a prominent social, spiritual and technological role in the Timaru community.
Constructed in stages between 1880 and 1886 and substantially extended in 1909, St Mary’s Church is rich in tradition and history. It was the first church in South Canterbury, known as a small wooden building, dedicated in April 1861.
We can enjoy today the typical Gothic Revival high aesthetic ecclesiastical architecture, with irregular bluestone work, pointed windows, steeply pitched roof and open timberwork on the interior.
