The Palmerston Presbyterian Church , A handsome stone building with spire, occupies a quarter acre section on one of the highest positions in the township, fronting one of the main streets. This charge was separated from Waikouaiti, of which it is an off-shoot, in 1871. There is seating accommodation in the church for 440 persons, and the average attendance is over 300. A Sunday school, held in the church, has about 160 scholars and fourteen teachers. The manse is built on a section of ten acres close to the borough.
