Te Henui Vicarage

Built in 1843 

this is one of the

oldest buildings in 

New Zealand.

Situated in central New Plymouth,
It is built from stones

hauled up by bullocks 
from the 

Te Henui river which

runs nearby,
and from limestone
from Nelson.


It is possible that 
Frederick Thatcher,
Bishop Selwyn's architect
had a hand in 
the design of this
building.
