Church of the Holy Sepulchre
Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Gothic Revival church in Grafton, New Zealand.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and copper-clad steeple, following classic Gothic Revival design principles on Khyber Pass Road.
Established in 1880 by Bishop William Cowie, the church replaced an earlier structure from Symonds Street to accommodate the growing population of Auckland.
The church hall transformed into Tātai Hono marae in 2009, incorporating tukutuku panels and whakairo carvings that reflect New Zealand's Māori heritage.
The structure underwent a $480,000 restoration in the early 2000s, which included extensive repairs and improvements to ensure its preservation for future generations.
Located away from its original Symonds Street location, the church was deliberately positioned on Khyber Pass Road to avoid traffic noise interference.
