[2] The Grand Hotel, also a category I listed building, is located directly opposite on the north side of Church Street.

[7] The construction of the brick church was supervised by Herbert Clere, the architect's son, from his Palmerston North office.

[8] Consecration of the church was initially expected to happen on All Saints' Day (1 November) of that year,[8] but the NZ£1,500 of remaining debt[9] of the NZ£7,800 completion cost[2] could not be raised in time.

It is installed in the east wall of the side chapel, and commemorates early parishioners James Skerman and his wife.

[4] The second stained glass window was installed just before the building's consecration to commemorate Henry Scott McKellar, one of the founders of the Anglican Church in New Zealand.

The church suffered some minor damage in the 2014 Eketahuna earthquake; mortar and some more bricks cracked, and a stone figure fell off the altar and broke.

[12] In April 2014, it was reported that earthquake strengthening would cost circa NZ$4 million, but that efforts were underway to fund-raise that amount.
