Description
“The interior of the Church. All brick made locally, all timber sawn in Chogoria workshop.” Interior of the church looking towards the raised area of the chancel. The pulpit on the left is decorated with reliefs representing Prayer, The Holy Spirit and The Scriptures. The new church was built of brick, manufactured at the mission’s own brick works, and designed by Dr Irvine. ❧ This image is from an album chronicling the time that Dr Archibald Clive Irvine (1893-1974) spent at Tumutumu (1919-1921) and some of the early years at Chogoria.
