Old Saint Paul's : ウィキペディア英語版
Old St. Paul's, Wellington
:''You may be looking for Old St. Paul's Cathedral, a destroyed cathedral in the City of London.''
:''Or for Old Saint Paul's, Edinburgh, of the Scottish Episcopal Church.''
Old St. Paul's is an historic site, a Wellington landmark and a popular wedding- and event-venue in the heart of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. The building functioned as the cathedral of the Diocese of Wellington of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia between 1866 and 1964. It exemplifies 19th-century Gothic Revival architecture adapted to colonial conditions and materials, and stands at 34 Mulgrave Street, Thorndon, Wellington, New Zealand, close to the New Zealand Parliament.
== History ==
George Selwyn, the first Bishop of New Zealand, purchased part of the site of the church in 1845 and Governor George Grey added to it in 1853,〔(History of Old St. Paul's )〕 at which time the lamd stood on a prominent cliff-top overlooking Wellington harbour.〔Sheppard, Peter. ''Restoring Old St Paul's''. Wellington: Ministry of Works, 1970, p. 3.〕 Agreement to build the church was reached by 1861〔 and the Reverend Frederick Thatcher, then vicar of St. Paul's, Thorndon, was engaged as the architect.
The foundation stone was laid by Governor Grey on 21 August 1865.〔''Evening Post'', 21 Aug 1865, p. 2〕 The building work was executed by John McLaggan and a team of eight carpenters,〔Bircham, Deric. ''Old St Paul’s: An Illustrated Essay''. Wellington: AH & AW Reed, 1981, p. 28.〕 and the church was consecrated by Bishop Abraham on 6 June 1866.〔Wellington Independent, 7 Jun 1856, p. 5〕
Soon after the church opened, it became apparent that it was unstable in high winds, and so the south transept, designed by Christian Julius Toxward, was added in 1868.〔Sheppard, Peter. ''Restoring Old St Paul's''. Wellington: Ministry of Works, 1970, p. 4.〕 Later additions included the north transept and north-aisle
extension, also by Toxward, in 1874; the moving of the chancel five metres to the east and the addition of minor north and south transepts to the design of George Fannin in 1876; the choir vestry in 1882, probably designed by Toxward; and extension of the baptistry as designed by Frederick de Jersey Clere in 1891.〔 Thatcher’s original wooden shingle roof was replaced with corrugated iron in 1895, and subsequently with Welsh slates in 1924.〔Alington, Margaret and Alington, William. ''Old St Paul’s Wellington: A Pictorial Record''. Wellington: Friends of Old St Paul’s Society, 1968, p. 3.〕
In 1964 the Diocese of Wellington moved to the new St Paul's Cathedral nearby. After a significant battle to prevent its demolition, Old St. Paul's was purchased by the New Zealand Government in 1967, and subsequently restored by the Ministry of Works under the guidance of Peter Sheppard.〔Kernohan, David. ''Wellington’s Old Buildings''. Wellington: Victoria University Press, 1994, p. 52.〕
