St Paul's Anglican Church is an heritage-listed Anglican church located in the suburb of Papanui, Christchurch, in the South Island of New Zealand. The church was listed as a Category II heritage building by Heritage New Zealand on 9 December 2005.
St Paul's Anglican Church was built in 1877 and replaced an earlier church built on the site in 1852-3 to serve the settlers who clustered around the stand of bush in the Papanui area, now a suburb of Christchurch. Designed by Benjamin Mountfort in the Gothic Revival style, the building was commissioned by The Canterbury Association.[1]
The timber church was badly damaged in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake. After an extensive restoration process the church was reopened in October 2013.[2] [3]
Ernest Rutherford married his wife here in 1900.[4]
The graveyard at St Paul's Church is the last resting place for numerous notable Cantabrians including:
