Church of the Ascension Waikari 1901 – 2001
This compilation covers a colourful history of the Anglican Church of Waikari, the Church of Ascension and the vicarage. An interesting read regarding the churches changing facade and a brief history of its priests and community. During its history, the vicarage barely survived an earthquake on Christmas Day 1922 and finally succumbed to fire two months later, in February 1923.
This booklet was compiled by Henry Searle.
