[[Benjamin Mountfort]], born in Britain, trained in Birmingham, and subsequently resident in [[Canterbury, New Zealand]] imported the Gothic Revival style to his adopted country and designed Gothic Revival churches in both wood and stone, notably in the city of [[Christchurch]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/1m57/mountfort-benjamin-woolfield|title=Mountfort, Benjamin Woolfield|author=Dictionary of New Zealand Biography|publisher=New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage|website=teara.govt.nz|access-date=6 May 2020}}</ref> 

[[Frederick Thatcher]] designed wooden churches in the Gothic Revival style, for example [[Old St. Paul's, Wellington]], contributing to what has been described as New Zealand's "one memorable contribution to world architecture".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://nzhistory.govt.nz/media/photo/old-saint-pauls|title=Old St Paul's|publisher=New Zealand history online|website=nzhistory.govt.nz|access-date=6 May 2020}}</ref> [[St Mary of the Angels, Wellington]] by [[Frederick de Jersey Clere]] is in the French Gothic style, and was the first Gothic design church built in ferro-concrete.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://wellingtoncityheritage.org.nz/architects/frederick-de-jersey-clere|title=Frederick de Jersey Clere – Wellington Heritage|publisher=Wellington City Council|website=wellingtoncityheritage.org.nz|access-date=6 May 2020}}</ref> Other examples in [[Wellington]] include [[John Sydney Swan]]'s now-demolished [[Erskine College, Wellington|Erskine College]].

The style also found favour in the southern New Zealand city of [[Dunedin]], where the wealth brought in by the [[Otago gold rush]] of the 1860s allowed for substantial stone edifices to be constructed, using hard, dark [[breccia]] stone and a local white limestone, [[Oamaru stone]]. Among them were [[Maxwell Bury]]'s [[University of Otago Registry Building]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://teara.govt.nz/en/zoomify/44761/university-of-otago-building-dunedin|title=University of Otago building, Dunedin|first=Maxwell|last=Bury|publisher=New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage|website=teara.govt.nz|access-date=6 May 2020}}</ref> and the [[Dunedin Law Courts]] by [[John Campbell (architect)|John Campbell]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://wellingtoncityheritage.org.nz/architects/government-architect-john-campbell|title=Government Architect – John Campbell – Wellington Heritage|publisher=Wellington City Council|website=wellingtoncityheritage.org.nz|access-date=6 May 2020}}</ref>

Welsh-born [[William Henry Skinner|William Skinner]] designed the third and current building for [[St Paul's Church, Auckland|St Paul's]] in [[Auckland]] in the Gothic Revival style. Known as the [[Mother church|'Mother Church']], due to its foundation within a year of the city’s establishment in 1841, the dark [[Rangitoto Island|Rangitoto]] [[basalt]] and light Oamaru limestone church was consecrated in 1895.<ref>{{Cite web |title=St Paul's Church (Anglican) |url=https://www.heritage.org.nz/list-details/650/Listing |access-date=31 May 2025 |website=Heritage New Zealand}}</ref> Skinner also designed the [[Agathis|kauri]] timber St James' Union Church in [[Thames, New Zealand|Thames]] in the Gothic style.<ref>{{Cite web |title=St James' Union Church |url=https://www.heritage.org.nz/list-details/131/Listing |access-date=31 May 2025 |website=Heritage New Zealand}}</ref>
