Spotted in New York recently by the eagle eye of library team member Jenny Harper, was this impressive Selwyn plaque.
The plaque, located in the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in Amsterdam Avenue (reputedly the fourth largest Christian church in the world) survived a major fire in 2001, which caused the cathedral to close until 2008. See St John Divine for further information about the cathedral.
For more information about Bishop Selwyn see the Te Ara website.
We wonder if anyone knows how the plaque came to be here?
