Nā Frederick Thatcher te hoahoa mō te whare karakia Mihinare o Hato Pāora i Te Whanganui-a-Tara ka tū i 1866. Ka whai te whare karakia i te momo Gothic mai Ingarangi; i taua wā, ko te whakaaro koira anake te momo hanga e tika ana mō te whare karakia. Mēnā i Ingarangi, kua hangaia kētia te whare karakia i te kōhatu; heoi ko te papa rākau te papanga e wātea ana. Kua kitea ināianei nā tana hanga mai i te papa rākau, i taea e te whare karakia te tū kaha i ngā hau pūkeri nui me ngā rū i pā ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara i ngā tau e 150 kua pahure.
