Coming up on the left/right is Church Hill and the Christchurch Cathedral. In 1842 the first bishop of New Zealand decided that Church Hill would be the ideal place for a cathedral. The current cathedral was the second to be built on the site and it was partially completed by 1932. More funds were needed but during the 1930s depression money was not easy to collect. A lot of the furniture and fittings from the original cathedral were used in the new one to maintain something of the past. The dedication of the building took place in 1965 and the cathedral was then consecrated in 1972.
