The English Church, Russell, Bay of Islands

This church was built prior to the war, and the engagement of the 11th March, 1845, between the sailors of H.M.S. “Hazard” and the Ngapuhi warriors under Kawiti was fought around the churchyard fence in the foreground. On the seaward side of the church there is a weatherboard cut by a round shot from the “Hazard,” fired after the evacuation of Kororareka.
