Date: 1874-77 Type: Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk - Church Status: Demolished

(dem 1915) (Kesting 1978:785; Radford 1979:117) The Dutch Reformed Church, at Caledon, is a beautiful building of architectural pretensions which would not be unworthy of a large European town. It was erected a cost of £7,000 and seats 800 people. The town was called after Lord Caledon, and is an important centre for the wool, grain, ostrich feathers, wine, etc., produced in the district.
