Various war memorial plaques and ensigns (flags) inside Christ Church Cathedral in Nelson.

Above the central city is Church Hill (also known as Pikimai). Leading up to the Cathedral are the Church Steps - also known as the Cawthron steps - which were originally planned as a memorial to Albert Pitt, Minister of Defence, Lt Colonel of the NZ Militia and C.O. of the Nelson Military District 1877-1899.
