ANGLICAN CHAPEL OF ST. MARY ON THE LIMPOPO Designed by Nurcombe, Summerly & Lange and built in 1953 using the finest material, this chapel, daughter of the Anglican Cathedral of St. Mary the Virgin, stands of the site of the former Deanery, since displaced by Palmer Court. Flowing directly beneath the Chapel is the Braamfontein Spruit, one of the headwaters of he Limpopo River, hence the ChapelÕs name.

A culmination of research gathered over many years, the Online Johannesburg Heritage Register is being launched on Nelson Mandela Day 18 July 2025.

Among the many heritage sites featured is Chancellor House, the downtown offices of Mandela and Tambo Attorneys in the 1950s. After having been vacant and shuttered for more than a decade, this iconic building is being revived and brought to life once again as offices for the Community Development Department, which oversees the City’s Arts, Culture & Heritage Services.
