Cederberg, Clanwilliam, Old Dutch Reformed Church

Abstract

The Old Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk in Clanwilliam is an attractive Haager building that has been turned into a museum. The entrance of the building is a gothic style arch with a small turret on top. In the turret hangs a very well kept bell of moderate size. Below the shoulder figure two pairs of moulding wires with in between them the information of the foundry. It seemingly reads 1920 JOHN WARNER & SONS, FOUNDERS, LONDON. This is followed by a band with loose standing figures composed of four concentric circles. Then follows another moulding wire. We find three more wires above the sound bow and two on the nose of the bell. The bell is rather attractive but unfortunately unreachable because it is hanging too high.
