Norfolk Island Sesqui-Centenary
Burn Jones windows
"The completion of the Melanesian Mission chapel heightened the distinction between the simple Pitcairn approach to worship and the distinctly refined Mission practices. The stone chapel, with its perfect symmetry, a floor or marble from quarries near Torquay in Devonshire, its exquisite stained-glass and rose windows by the highly acknowledged Burne-Jones, pews of kauri and rerodos of dark walnut, each inlaid with cowrie shells, and an organ of five hundred pipes, clearly spelt refinement and superiority."
Raymond Nobbs, George Hunn Nobbs 1799 - 1884: Chaplain on Pitcairn and Norfolk Island, 1984, p. 92 - 3
