Selwyn churches

St Stephen's Chapel in Judges Bay
All Saints Church, Howick

The Selwyn churches were a group of 19th-century Anglican churches and chapels in the Auckland region, New Zealand, named after Bishop Selwyn, who inspired their construction. The majority were built in wood in the neo-gothic style, and many were designed by the architect Frederick Thatcher.[1]
