Did You Know?
St Agnes Anglican Church in Noupoort, Northern Cape, was built in 1901. The church served the Anglican community in this small railway town, which was established in the late 19th century as a key junction on the Cape Government Railways line connecting the interior to the coast. Noupoort grew rapidly after the railway reached the area in 1884, and by the early 1900s, the town had a diverse population, including English-speaking settlers, for whom the church provided a place of worship. The church building itself is a modest structure typical of rural Anglican churches of the period, often constructed with local materials. While specific architectural details of St Agnes are not widely documented, it remains a landmark reflecting the religious and social history of Noupoort during the early 20th century.
