Cathedral Church of St Mary the Virgin – Johannesburg – None identified

Album of 24 photographs of the Cathedral Church in Johannesburg, designed by Sir Herbert Baker and Frank Fleming. A monument to the courageous resistance its incumbents conducted against the racial discrimination and segregation of apartheid. St. Mary’s was the first church in South Africa to appoint a black man as Dean – it was Desmond Tutu in 1974. Under his leadership it “became a cradle of democracy that housed some of the work meetings and services that went into dismantling the shackles of apartheid.” 3850 Photography
