It is located 15 kilometres southwest of Darfield, five kilometres south of Glentunnel, and 50 kilometres west of Christchurch, on the banks of the Hororata River. Hororata sustained some damage in the 2010 Canterbury earthquake of 4 September 2010. The settlement's most prominent building, the Anglican church of St. John, was badly affected; part of its tower collapsed onto the church's roof.[1] Early European New Zealand pioneer John Studholme and his wife lived here before selling the run to John Hall. New Zealand 19th century Premier John Hall and his eldest brother George Williamson Hall are buried in the St. John cemetery.[2] References1. ^{{cite news |last=Van Beynen |first=Martin |url= http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/4096832/Quake-devastates-Christchurchs-heritage |title=Quake devastates Christchurch heritage |newspaper=The Press |publisher=Fairfax New Zealand |date=5 September 2010 |accessdate=5 September 2010}} 2. ^{{cite news |title=Obituary |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18960228.2.25.6 |accessdate=21 April 2012 |newspaper=The Star |date=28 February 1896|issue=5501 |page=2 }} External links{{Commons category|Hororata}}
