St Barnabas Chapel

St Barnabas’ Chapel, otherwise known as the Melanesian Mission Chapel, or the Patteson Memorial Chapel, would be the most visited historic building on Norfolk Island and perhaps even in the whole South Pacific. Visitors are often surprised and delighted to come across such a picturesque and elegant church building on a small Pacific island. Built in a grand gothic style on a small scale, the Chapel was erected between 1875 and 1880 as a memorial to Bishop John Coleridge Patteson, the first Bishop of Melanesia.

Thanks a lot Marnie!
