St. Cyprian's Cathedral

The Cathedral Church of St Cyprian the Martyr, Kimberley, is the seat of the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Kimberley and Kuruman, Anglican Church of Southern Africa. It became a Cathedral when the first Bishop of Kimberley and Kuruman, the Rt Revd Wilfrid Gore Browne, was enthroned there on 30 June 1912. But the Parish of St Cyprian dates back to at least 1871 when a chapelry within the Parish of All Saints, Du Toits Pan, Diocese of Bloemfontein, was dedicated and met in a tent in New Rush, on the Diamond Fields - the digger settlement which would become Kimberley.
