This imposing neo-Gothic sandstone church was designed by the architects J. H. and A. E. Till and erected by the builders Rundle, Rowe and Marshall. The comer-stone was laid on 20 January 1899 by M. T. Steyn, President of the Orange Free State. During the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) the unfinished church building was converted into a British hospital. Building work recommenced after this war and the completed church building was eventually inaugurated on 18 March 1904.
Visual Description: The church is built of sandstone in a neo-gothic style. It has a big tower.
Construction Date: 1899
Materials: Coursed Cut Stone, Metal Tile
