1892. The Methodist Church. The foundation stone of this church was laid in November 1892 on land bought for L35. Prior to and during the building of this church, the Wesleyan community worshiped in the local Court House, now the police station, in Main Street. Mr. Andrew Hepburn of the Knysna Forest Co. designed the church in the Gothic style, and building activity was under the supervision of Mr. DW McFarlane, built at a cost of L600. The yellowwood pews and pulpit were designed by Mr. Leonard Willis, a member of the congregation, and were made by the Knysna Forest Co. The church was completed a year later and the first service was held on 29 October 1893. The entry porch, which hides the original entrance door, was added later.
