St John's Church, Anglican church building in Selwyn District, New Zealand.
The stone building features kauri and totara timber construction, with a belfry that stands prominently against the surrounding rural landscape.
Built in 1847, St John's Church transitioned from a place of worship to a community hall, receiving Heritage New Zealand Category 2 status for its architectural value.
The church's metal bell incorporates materials from York Minster in England, establishing a connection between New Zealand's religious heritage and British ecclesiastical traditions.
The building continues to serve the community by hosting various local events and gatherings, maintaining its role as a central meeting point in Selwyn District.
The altar from 1934 contains candlesticks made with wood from St Botolph's Church in Lincolnshire, connecting three religious buildings across two hemispheres.
