Monument to the first Presbyterian service, Petone
In 1840, two shiploads of Scots arrived at the infant settlement of Wellington. The first party had not long disembarked when Rev. John Macfarlane held New Zealand’s first Presbyterian service on the Petone foreshore. An Iona cross, dedicated on 23 February 1940, marks the site.
