Selwyn churches

The Selwyn churches were a group of 19th century Anglican churches and chapels in the Auckland region, New Zealand named after Bishop Selwyn who inspired their construction. The majority were built in wood in the neo-gothic style and many were designed by the architect Frederick Thatcher.[1]
