B: Park Road, running along the south side of the common. C: The newly built Milner Road North, completed in spite of the protests of lovers of the common. D: The group of pines which marks the place where the old chapel known as the Tabernacle once stood (there were also two graveyards there). E: The Red Cross Children's Hospital.

Description

Where people pray: Dockyard Church. The Dockyard Church at Simonstown is truly a sailors' church. It occupies half of the top story of the stone mast-house built by the Dutch East Indian Company, and was first used for divine worship by the Anglican community about 1801 during the first occupation of the Cape. The Dockyard Church of St. George at Simonstown is half of the upper room, or sail loft, of the old Dutch East Indian Company's mast-house. The small clock-tower bears the date 1815. The clock is balanced by three weights one of which weights 400lb. It is checked daily and, in spite of its age, only occasionally loses a few minutes.
