Sidbury Methodist Church

Hoosain Narker

Sidbury, lying in the midst of what is considered 'frontier country' is one of several quaint little towns that make up one of the most ecologically diverse regions in South Africa. The church is situated in what used to be the little village of Sidbury, which now forms part of the grounds of Kwantu Game Lodge. This little town has two splendid churches, Anglican and Methodist and a number of war graves in the church graveyards which were once war-torn grassy fields. Here a series of fierce battles were fought between the British settlers and the locals who regarded this land as theirs. Whilst both churches are still very much in use, their congregations have shrunk as the farmlands diminish. Over a 100 years old, the church tells its own story when one visits.
