Bibby Baby
Bibby Family Memorial Church, Blackburn Ridge, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
This has to be one of my favourite New Zealand churches, and it is one of the least known about. It sits on a ridge in the foothills of the Ruahine Ranges, looking out over the plains of Central Hawke's Bay. It was built by one of the pioneering families of Hawke's Bay, the Bibby's, in memory of their parents who established the farm on which this church sits.
I was actually contacted by the Bibby family after posting a few photos of this church, and one of my images was used in a local calendar. I was happy to donate my payment for the photo to the fund that is used to maintain this important piece of rural history.
