History
editThe church came to be when Robert Gray was consecrated as the Bishop of Cape Town in 1840, Sir Thomas Henry Duthie along with his son-in-law travelled to meet Gray to discuss plans for churches in the Knysna and Plettenberg Bay areas.[1]
The church was built between 1851 and 1853, while the foundation stone was laid on 15 October 1851.[2] The church was designed by Sophia Gray.[3] The church was modelled after the Norman churches of the 11th and 12th centuries.[1][4] The first bishop of the church was Robert Gray, husband of Sophia Gray.[1]
