Brett Hendey Offline Senior Member Posts: 2932 Thank you received: 757	David Thank you for posting these pictures. It is very gratifying to see the churchyard is still well cared for. By contrast, the last time I saw St Matthew's Church in Estcourt, which I once attended and where my father was a sidesman, the Church was closed and the cemetery was in a disgraceful state of neglect.

I will post some pictures of the combined British/Boer monument at the Swedish Mission which is suffering from the environment more than from anything else. Dr David Biggins
