Statement of Significance

The Church Hill Area is of regional significance as a precinct where major Hamilton religious buildings were located, most notably Christ Church Co Cathedral and its manse, and St Andrew's Presbyterian Church. It has also been regarded as the most prestigious residential part of the town and contains a number of examples of elegant residences built for leading business and professional men, as well as retired squatters. The residential character is reinforced by gardens, several notable trees and important street tree planting. It is the social focus for prominent townsmen and Western District pastoralists and graziers.
