      Statement of Significance

      This church complex, consisting of the 1832 re-erected church, the 1850 neo-Gothic church and the early nineteenth century ring-wall, is closely associated with the 1820 Settlers, as well as the start of Methodism in South Africa.The corner-stones of these two churches were laid on 1 January 1832 and 18 July 1850, respectively.
