Stained glass window, Tikitiki

Christianity was initially welcomed and seen as bringing peace to the Ngāti Porou people, who became strong followers. This window at St Mary’s Church in Tikitiki is a memorial to those Ngāti Porou who died in the First World War. The honours board indicates that the memorial is to men from Torere to Muriwai.
