This 1852 painting gives an artist's idea of Te Rangihaeata's pa on the site of what is now St Albans Church, Pauatahanui. Following a series of British raids against this pa in 1846 Te Rangihaeata withdrew north to a position referred to as Battle Hill in the hills east of the Horokiri Stream. The abandoned pa at Pauatahanui was turned into a British military
post.
