FullStatementOfSignificance:
Construction on this neo-Gothic church building started in 1898, but owing to the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War the finishing touches could only be done in 1903. During the war the building was used by the British as a hospital and it is alleged that six wounded British soldiers received the Victoria Cross in the church. In 1974 it was tastefully restored and the interior is particularly impressive.
