St Peter’s Church

Completed in 1857, this historic shale stone building became Bishop John William Colenso’s cathedral following the split in the Church of England in the colony which led to William Macrorie’s appointment as Bishop of Maritzburg. Colenso, Bishop of Natal is buried in front of the altar. St Peter’s has become a museum housing church treasures and beautiful stained glass windows from Europe.
