The classically modernist simplicity of line and sparse internal decoration of All Saints’, Somerset West, focuses attention on the High Altar.
A cathedral only since 2022, All Saints’ in Somerset West was opened in 1953 but the congregation is more than a century older.
The town of Somerset West, 46 km or 29 miles east of Cape Town, was established during the governorship of Sir Charles Somerset (1814-26), but the first Anglican services were only held several years later, in 1838. The Rev’d J W Sanders was sent, by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel to Stellenbosch to minister to children who had been sent out to the Cape by the Children's Friend Society. On Sunday afternoons, Sanders would ride from Stellenbosch, 12 miles away, to various outlying places and hold services, but when he returned to England in 1840 these services came to an end.
A more permanent foothold for Anglicanism in the Hottentots-Holland area was established after the arrival of Bishop Grey in 1848, and then in 1855 a piece of ground between Victoria and Oak Streets was transferred to the See of Cape Town for ecclesiastical purposes. This land was consecrated and used as a burial ground, but it was not until 1860 that the building of a combined chapel and school commenced, 100 metres south of the current location.
In 1861 the Rev’d James Robert Godfrey was ordained Deacon by Bishop Gray and appointed Curate-in-Charge and schoolmaster at Somerset West. The chapel was not named and it is believed that Godfrey requested the name All Saints mainly because his birthday was on 1 November!
By the turn of the century, the old church had fallen into disrepair. Somerset West had also grown considerably, mainly because of the extension of the railway and the establishing of the De Beers Dynamite Factory. A new church was built on the Oak Street side of the Diocesan property and in 1905 Somerset West finally became a parish.
By the 1940s this second church was also in a very dilapidated state, needing constant repairs. It was proposed to build a new church and rectory on vacant land opposite the existing church.
By mid–1951 the church property between Oak and Victoria streets had been sold to the municipality for £12,500 and the Diocesan Trustees had agreed to authorise a loan of £10,000. This money, together with funds raised by donations and subscriptions, provided the sum necessary for the building of the new All Saints complex.
The new church was dedicated by Archbishop Geoffrey Clayton in 1953, but it was only in 1961 (when the bond had been repaid) that Archbishop Joost de Blank consecrated All Saints' Church.
On Pentecost Sunday 2022, All Saints was inaugurated as the Cathedral of the Diocese of False Bay and the first Dean was installed.

Tonight's image was shot in the town of Greece, Monroe County in upstate New York, near Lake Ontario. We were visiting my daughter and her husband up there in May.
While visiting, we were in search of places to photograph and I had heard about an area called Braddock Bay WMA, which is quite unique in that its a WMA with a rural area. As we drove around the area, stopping for a variety of small wildlife and birds, I happened to notice that the air was quite still. On one of the lakes that comprise the area, the homes that lined the shore were reflected with perfection onto the water's surface.
I love this image (OK, it's actually Tom's image) because of the simplicity that for me it represents. The area was so laid back, quiet, and serene - a far cry from where I reside locally in south Florida - with its crowds, development, and hustle/bustle about it. The air was cool and crisp - without the heaviness of the humidity I reside in also. Yes, it was quite literally a contrast in terms from what I call home.... and I liked it!
I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend in store for them. I hoping for a bit of a laid back one myself. :-). Thanks for stopping by to view and for all of your comments.
