Wakefield

A small historic town is coming into the limelight as a destination on the Great Taste Trail. It has two of New Zealand's oldest churches, an old general store, a post office and library. Also (see the separate entry) a bizarre imitation of the White House fronted by a statue of Richard Nixon.
"Wakefield is notable for Wakefield Primary School, the oldest school in continuous usage in New Zealand. It was set up in 1843 by Mary Ann Baigent."
