      Statement of Significance

      The corner-stone of this cruciform church with its Neo- Gothic features was laid by the Moderator of the Orange Free State Synod, the Rev. J. J. T. Marquard, on 14 January 1899. The building was completed shortly after the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902). During the War the British troops used the church tower as an observation post.
