Old Apostolic Church in Uppercross Street. I cannot find any information about this church.

The four foundation stones of the Methodist Church was laid on 19 February 1906.  The architect was William John Delbridge and the contractor JB Weymouth.

This is the entrance to the Confessional. The French Missionary Fathers of Lyon took charge of the church in the 1870's.  A little school was built in 1885.  It was only one classroom and is now the confessional of the church.

This beautiful stained-glass window in St Thomas Catholic Church was installed in1924.  It was a gift from Father Mayer to the church.

This is the inside of St Thomas Catholic Church

On Saturday 20 October 2012 we went on an outing with the Mossel Bay Heritage Society. We visited the Masonic Lodge and St Thomas Catholic Church. I have previously posted pictures of the outside of the church. In the next few posts I am going to show you more of the Church and tell you a bit about its history

The tower of the St Peter's Anglican Church. The church was built in 1878 and the tower was added in 1906. The spire is believed to be the tallest built entirely of stone in South Africa.

This building was built in 1885 and was used as a school.   In 1905 it was enlarged and became a church.   It was enlarged again in 1935 when the towers were added.  

Yersterday was a beautiful sunny day in Mossel Bay.  I was on my way to the post office in lunch but had enough time to take a picture of this lovely old Anglican Church in Marsh Street. The ground to built this church was donated by Mr J Hudson.  The nave was built in 1878 and 1879 by Weymouth and Anglican stone masons from Cornwall.  The tower and chancel were added in 1906.
