Trinity Presbyterian Church, Nelson NZ
The first Presbyterian church in Nelson, Trinity church, was opened in December 1849 under the guidance of Rev. T D Nicholson. The Presbytery of Nelson / Marlborough included the following churches and smaller parishes, these being Trinity Church, Knox Church, St Luke's Union Parish, Motueka-Riwaka Parish, St. David's Church, Tasman Church, Moutere Hills Church, Upper Moutere Church, Moutere Hills Cooperating Parish and also included records from Motueka Methodist Church and Nelson South Methodist Church.
An historic Nelson church has been taken off the market after an 1849 deed was found to restrict the use of the land.
The Presbyterian Trinity Church on Nile Street, which is more than 150 years old, was put up for sale in June. Dwindling congregation numbers and the steep cost of maintaining the large wooden building saw the last service held there two years ago.
The church and the land is owned by the parish and held on its behalf by Church Property Trustees, which looks after Presbyterian Church assets.
Alpine Presbytery moderator Reverend David Coster said Trinity Church had been withdrawn from the market on July 12 after advice from the trustees that an 1849 deed restricted the land to church use only.
