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Alpine Presbytery moderator Reverend David Coster said Trinity Church had been withdrawn from the market on July 12 after advice from the trustees that an 1849 deed restricted the land to church use only.

State Highway 1 (SH 1) is the longest and most significant road in the New Zealand road network, running the length of both main islands. It appears on road maps as SH 1 and on road signs as a white number 1 on a red shield, but it has the official designations SH 1N in the North Island, SH 1S in the South Island.
SH 1 is 2,006 kilometres (1,246 mi) long, 1,074 km (667 mi) in the North Island and 932 km (579 mi) in the South Island. Since 2010 new roads have reduced the length from 2,033 km (1,263 mi). For the majority of its length it is a two-lane single carriageway, with at-grade intersections and property accesses, in both rural and urban areas. These sections have some passing lanes. Around 315 km (196 mi) of SH 1 is of motorway or expressway standard as of August 2022: 281 km (175 mi) in the North Island and 34 km (21 mi) in the South Island.
The Trekka was the only mass produced NZ car, it came with Skoda Octavia 1221cc engine and drive line and suspension with a fully welded steel body.
They sold fairly well but with them only being RWD they just couldn't compete with the Land Rover off road, and with the import regulations being relaxed they were too expensive when compared with fresh Japanese imports.
There pretty rare to see on the road anymore, most of them seem to be quietly decomposing in farmers back paddocks
