Knox Presbyterian Church, Masterton
- The original Church
building dating from 1869 (then used as the Sunday School Hall) was destroyed by fire on the 9th March 1938. "The
Outlook" Church magazine reported the loss of all old
and current Sunday School records and papers including all furnishings
and a library. A later listing from the Parish quotes
Sunday School minutes and registers as being intact however it
appears highly likely that at least some material may have been lost. The insurance claim quotes contents as having been
"damaged". The roof of the Primary Sunday School Hall including tiles and electrical fittings on another Church building
building were damaged. The insurance claim amounted to £2,278 pounds.
- An earthquake so badly damaged the Church on the 24th June 1942
that it had to be abandoned for the duration of the
Second World War as no repairs could be effected at this time.
It was finally restored, strengthened and re-opened in 1952.
