61. ORGAN CONSOLE

The organ console was originally placed on the North side of the choir. Moving it to this position made room for extra pipes and an improved overall sound.     PLAN

62. MORE CHOIR SEATS

The choir chairs on the South side carry the emblems and names of further saints. St Peter was an obvious choice for the Deans’ chair at right.

63. EAST WINDOW

The beautiful Te Deum East Window shows Christ seated in glory. It was installed in 1930, provided by money raised by the Ladies’ Guild. It was designed by English artist A. L. Ward. This completes our tour of the Cathedral Church of St Peter.

64. FAREWELL

And it is time to say Farewell. But first, a little reflective history ...

65. THIRD CHURCH OF ST PETER

St Peter’s Church had a difficult behinning. The first 1867 church burnt down before it was even dedicated. A second church completed in 1871 soon proved to be inadequate and was sold. The third church shown here was completed in 1887.

66. FOURTH ST PETER’S CHURCH

The foundation stone of the fourth church was laid in 1915, and the church dedicated the following year. In 1926 Bishop Cherrington was consecrated, and St Peter’s began life as a cathedral. Various additions and extensions have been made since this time.
