Saint Georges Heritage Trust is an Independent Charitable Trust, established in 2010, to:

retain the historic Saint Georges buildings in Thames, New Zealand

promote the buildings as an integral part of the area’s heritage

encourage the collection and preservation of all historical records

promote historical and archival research

The first Saint Georges was built in 1868 in Rolleston Street on land gifted by Chief Taipari. It was soon too small for the 30,000 inhabitants of Thames, so a bigger church was built at a cost of around £1,500, on the corner of Mackay and Mary Streets. The new church was opened in 1872. The original church was moved to Mary Street in the early 1900s, and now is the Parish Hall. It is used by many community groups on a regular basis.

Please consider a gift to Saint Georges Heritage Trust in your will. Should you decide to make a gift, it can take the form of any of these options: A fixed cash sum A residual share of your estate Real Estate Shares

One family that has already decided to make a bequest explains it this way:-

“Saint Georges has been part of our family for over 3 generations … my grandparents attended and were buried from there; my parents were married there; and all of us, their children, were baptized and confirmed and then married in the church; our own children and now our grandchildren have been part of the church family. Even those who now live far away come back to Saint Georges when they’re in Thames or nearby. Just as it has held an integral role in our family all these years, we are part of its history. We want to ensure that Saint Georges is still there for future generations by making a significant bequest to the Trust.

We invite others to do the same, …” Sarah B.
