St George's Anglican Memorial Church at Gate Pā
St George's Anglican Church at Gate Pā is the most notable of historic churches in Tauranga.In 1880, Canon Charles Jordan asked that part of the Gate Pa Domain be made available for an Anglican Church that would be a memorial to the officers and men who had fallen in the battle. Fundraising was undertaken and part of the pā site was obtained through an exchange of land between the government and the church. On 10 February 1900 the governor, Earl of Ranfurly, laid the foundation stone. Learn more of its history here
