This is the first church to be designed by Baker with Francis Masey as partner. It would appear that this church replaced the St Philip's Church designed by GM ALEXANDER in 1885. Fencing to the design of Baker and Masey was added in 1900 (Pryce-Lewis list 5 295). Books that reference St Philip's Church Greig, Doreen. 1970. Herbert Baker in South Africa.
