Daily Photo – Rose Window 1953

St Cuthbert’s Church in Luxford Street, Wellington had everything you’d want in a church – a beautiful rimu interior, a nicely tiled roof, a stunning rose window, a bell and a turret for good measure. Unfortunately for the local congregation, it was classified as an earthquake prone building and so was sold and later demolished in 2015, thus ending sixty two years of community service. 

However, before it was reduced to rubble several items were saved including the stunning Rose Window that is now on display in Wellington Museum.
