A 110-year-old church that sold online after a $1 reserve looks set to move to Wellington. The St James Presbyterian Church building in Waihi was listed for sale on Trade Me. The auction closed shortly after 11am yesterday when the church sold for $11,100 from a total of 115 bids. Mr Pearson said the buyer indicated they had dealt with sprucing up old churches before and planned to move the church to the Wellington region. The church is listed as a Category A heritage feature by Hauraki District Council so demolition is not allowed.
