Geocache Description:

Saint Mary Magdalene's Church on Cambridge Avenue, sits on the site of the original Anglican church in Ashhurst established in the 1880s.
The original extension was shifted to Bunnythorpe, and then later to a Maori Marae near Rata.

St Mary Magdalene's as it is now was built and consecrated in April 1900.
Renovations between 1994 and 1997 updated many areas of the buildings including a new ramp to the church to provide easier access. In 2010 the roof was replaced and the steeple strengthened.

St Mary Magdalene's is an all wooden construction which gives the inside a beautiful warmth of colour to the worship space.

The Church Hall is used by many community groups including Ashhurst Girl Guides, Ashhurst Budgeting Service, Ashhurst Food Bank, Little Kiwis (under 5's playgroup), RunRIG Ministries & Messy Church, Alcoholics Anonymous, and many others.
