St Alban's Church, Eastbourne

Lower Hutt City, New Zealand

St Alban's Church is a historic Anglican parish church belonging to the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. It is located in the Lower Hutt suburb of Eastbourne, on the east coast of Wellington Harbour in New Zealand. The church is the oldest in Eastbourne having been designed by the then Diocesan architect of Wellington, Frederick de Jersey Clere, and completed in 1910. Following assessments after the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake, the church building along with its accompanying parish hall were closed after failing to meet the required earthquake building standards. This saw the parish move its services to the hall of the nearby Wellesley College in Days Bay. The church is dedicated to Saint Alban, the first Christian martyr of Great Britain.
