Parishioners want Hororata's stone church restored after 10 years of inaction

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

St John’s Anglican stone church at Hororata stands boarded up, almost untouched, except by pigeons since the devastating earthquake 10 years ago.

About $4 million in damage was done to the once iconic stone structure.

But standing in the quiet grounds, surveying its form and lines years on, it is hard to imagine how it could cost so much to repair.
