About 10km from Vaalwater on the Melkrivier road, turn right onto the Vierentwintigriviere road and, after 8.7km, turn left towards Naauwpoort – St John’s will be on your left. The ‘church of thatch and stone…whose quiet charm doth strike a lovely note’ (in the words of the poem by the door) dates to 1914. It is said to have been designed by Sir Herbert Baker but is often overlooked in studies of the great colonial architect.
