Knox Church (Inglewood)

The foundation stone (now located in the grounds of the United Church) for the first Presbyterian church in Inglewood was laid on 4 August 1902. The church built was a large wooden building located on Cutfield Street.

In 1926 a smaller concrete church (pictured above) was built in front of the original church. It was designed by prominent New Plymouth architects Messenger, Griffiths & Taylor and the contractors were Messrs Arthur & Adinall of Inglewood. The contract price £1180 and the seating capacity was 111. The foundation stone was laid by Mrs J. Parli, an original member of the local Presbyterian congregation,  on 16 December 1926.

The last service in Knox Church was on 29 November 1970 conducted by the Rev. F. Ralph. Following this the congregation united with the Methodist congregation to form the United Church.

In 1974 Tony Kuepfer and his wife leased the premises and converted it into a glass-blowing studio and exhibition space (Taranaki Herald 21 January 1975). In 1991 Andrew and Stephanie Williams bought the church and renamed the studio "Glass Art".

The building was occupied by the Lifegate Inglewood Apostolic Church in 2012. It has now (2023) been demolished.
