Dutch Reformed Church, Victoria West

In 1843 the extensive wards of Nieuwveld and Uitvlucht belonged to the large congregation of Beaufort West.^[2] The zealous Rev. Colin Fraser visited the farm Kapoksfontein from time to time and held outdoor church there.^[3] Following a memorandum submitted to the church council to declare Zeekoegat a separate congregation,^[4] the Presbytery Commission of Graaff-Reinet purchased this farm on 17 August 1844 for 23 000 rixdaalders and converted the house into an emergency church.^[5] On 24 August 1844 the parish was named Victoria in honour of the then young British queen. Erven were sold to the town and 9 000 morgen of land was transferred in 1845 in the name of the church council.^[6][7]
