REAL LIFE network


On Sundays I work as the curator at Old St Paul’s in Thorndon. Built in 1866, Old St Paul’s is one of New Zealand’s most significant pieces of architecture and heritage – a neo-gothic cathedral built entirely of native timbers.

Although still consecrated, it ceased to be an Anglican Church in 1964 when it was replaced by the Cathedral of St Paul on adjacent Molesworth Street. The government purchased the dilapidated church, restored it and reopened it in1971 to be managed by the Historic Places Trust .

hi Chloe, thanks for your comments about my vlog.. well I suppose it is in keeping with the theme of collage & low-tech applications relevant to my blog. I wanted to work fast so I improvised. I think your composite image is quite effective.
