This WW1 memorial church, situated on Khyber Pass, Grafton, and built in 1927 has been closed since late 2014 and needs earthquake strengthening.

Friends of St David’s, a group with a mission to stop demolition, to fundraise and restore the church, and to ensure it has an on-going community use, has been formed.

See their website here.

For three months from the eve of Anzac Day 2015 there is a free public art installation on the church’s exterior titled The Art of Remembrance.

Internationally acclaimed artist Max Gimblett has created a solid brass quatrefoil to represent each kiwi soldier that served in WW1. These individually hand-screenprinted artworks are a stunning and permanent pledge to Remember Them, and can be bought to fundraise for the church’s future.
