Historic Stafford Place was built by the Redwood family in 1866 for their family of nine. Francis Redwood became New Zealand's first and youngest Archbishop and his brother Henry became known as the Father of the New Zealand Turf, setting up the country's first racing stables. Built of native timbers with a unique staircase and arched verandah roof Stafford Place is one of the Nelson provinces best preserved settler homesteads and was winner of the Tasman District Council's 2002 Heritage Structures Award. It is also a New Zealand Historic Places Trust Grade 2 listed building. |
