St George’s Church sits on the site (Pukehinahina) where the Battle of Gate Pā took place. Come and listen to a talk or take a tour. Talks/Tours are tailored for people of all ages from school to adult groups. They have been partly prepared by Cliff Simons, a local military historian, who recently co-authored “Victory at Gate Pā” with Buddy Mikaere, written to help people understand why the fighting broke out at Gate Pā and what happened during and after the battle.
