St Luke's Anglican Church Ngahere being relocated, February 2026

About this image

DescriptionSt Luke’s Anglican Church, Ngahere, West Coast, was up and running from 1954 and well into the 1970s. It appears to have been on donated land and when the church bailed out the family bought it back.
For many years it has sat doing nothing but fairly well preserved it seems. In 2020 I was there for a snoop and had to contend with some scrub to get some pictures. An interesting looking building hidden in the weeds like Snow White.
Looks like the old church is now on the move or about to be.
Ngahere used to be a big deal back in the day. There's still a local fire department, a garage, the sawmill, and a mostly unloved tennis court. Trevor Mallard of Labour 5.0 announced the culling of the Ngahere School back in 2004.
