St Mary's Church, Meeanee Road, Taradale, Hawkes Bay

Another very familiar church to me is St Mary's in Meeanee Road. The first part of St Mary's was built in 1863 with additions in 1874, '75 and '92 and it was finally deconsecrated in 1972. In 1981 it was taken over by the Taradale Pottery Club, of which my mother was president for many years, until recently when it has now been turned into an amazing up-market restaurant "The Church". Some beautiful features have been added to the interior and the surrounding vineyard and decks make it a great place to have lunch or a wedding.
