a year agoIf you go up through two farm gates out the back of the church is a lovely walk that last about 10 minutes with plenty of plaques along the way, giving lots of information. Here is a quote from one of them. ‘The British launched their attack on the pã, continuing all day until dark. With little damage to the palisade, the guns were moved to within 200 metres of the pã the next day. The bombardment continued for another two days - with little further damage’

a year agoIf you are interested in Aotearoa history don't miss this. The church is definitely worth a look, the site of a major battle in the Northern War. But allow time to walk along the path to the old school which has a series of excellent panels explaining the story of the battle and the local iwi.
