Title: Holy Trinity Church, Kalk Bay, Cape Town, 1961
Subject: Kalk Bay (South Africa), Church buildings, Historical, Architecture, Christianity
Description: Holy Trinity (Kalk Bay) - Framed against the Kalk Bay mountains in a terraced garden dotted with pine and cypress trees stands a pretty stone and thatch church. It was built by two Englishwomen as a replica of the church they attended in England before coming to South Africa in the middle of the nineteenth century. Perched on the mountainside at Kalk Bay and looking down to the sea is Holy Trinity Church. The terraced garden in front of the church, and the Garden of Remembrance it includes, are kept in order by two of the women parishioners. Below the garden is an old graveyard which has not been used since the turn of the century. A new hall is being built at the back of the church to take place of the old one that has been demolished.
