church was completed in 1865 and is in pristine condition. The
clock was only built later in 1885. The metal wrought-iron fence
was completed in 1885.
The original organ, which is now in the Zeekoegat Church was
donated by Cecil John Rhodes.
The British used the church as a fort and lookout tower during the
Anglo-Boer War.
The Church can be viewed in the mornings - Monday to Friday
