Description

The Scottish Kirk was constructed in Parewanui, near Bulls by Presbyterian settlers from Scotland in 1862. In addition to doubled skin walls, gun portals were also incorporated on two sides of the church in order to provide protection due to tensions in the area. In 1868 the church was relocated to higher ground and at the turn of the century, the building was moved to more accessible ground on Parewanui Road. In 1962, falling attendance numbers prompted its relocated to Tangimoana. In 2000 the building was relocated from Tangimoana to Waikanae, where it serves as St Andrew's Church hall.
