Quick links:

This historic place was registered under the Historic Places Act 1993. The following text is from the original Proposal for Classification report considered by the NZHPT Board at the time of registration. St Paul's Church, Motu is a small scale Gothic revival timber church built c.1922 to serve the parochial district of Matawai. The architect was Frederick de Jersey Clere. St Paul's is an example of a typical Clere country church having many standard features of his work, including vertical board and batten work and lancet windows with shallow trefoil head in rectangular frames. It is the twin church of St Mary's, Matawai, also designed by Clere and almost identical in detailing.
