Kwazulu-Natal, ESTCOURT district, Kamberg, St Peters Anglican Church cemetery

Cemetery information:- St. Peters was built on farmland donated by Henry LANG who also played a major role in its construction. The materials for the building were carted all the way from Rosetta siding by Arthur Ratsey. Built of stone under an iron roof, it remains a most attractive rustic church in the traditional English style. Funding was entirely through private donations by the locals. A small graveyard recalls the names of many donors. The most intriguing memorial is that of the Hamilton family which records Mary Hamilton, aged 10 months, was buried there in August 1911; Barbara Hamilton, aged 30 months, in April 1912; Noel Hamilton aged 6 months in June 1912; Jeannie Hamilton buried in June 1916 aged 7 months and Natalie Hamilton aged only 3 was interned in January 1918 St. Peter’s was consecrated in 1907 by Bishop Baines who was very active in the Midlands of Natal. eGGSA captions by: Rob Jones & Nadine Gindra.
