This is the Melanesian Mission Chapel of St Barnabas, the people are Melanesians (mainly from New Hebrides [Vanuatu] and Solomon islands) being trained for mission work back in their home islands. The Mission existed on Norfolk Island 1860-1920.

Thanks for that info, brucehassan. We found a link to a colour photo of the same building on the Norfolk Island website at: www.pitcairners.org/vt_st_barnabas_chapel.html which also says: "The chapel is built of stone from the ruins of the New Gaol. In 1920 the Mission was moved to the Solomon Islands."

The military commandant's name seems to have been variously spelled Paterson or Patterson, but never Patteson.
