Breede River Valley, Touwsrivier, Evangelical Lutheran Church

Abstract

Photographs and information on the bell of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Touws River. The modest Lutheran Church has a detached tower that hides a modest but beautiful bell cast by Collier, also the founder of the bell in the St Petri Lutheran Church in Paarl. Immediately below the shoulder is a broad decorative band with plants and leaves in between two moulding wires. Then follows a smaller band with shell-like decorations. On one waist of the bell there is an inscription stating GEGOSSEN VON GUSTAV COLLIER ZEHLENDORG BEI BERLIN 1883. On the reverse waist is the effigy of a dove, probably signifying the Holy Ghost.
