The St Andrews Anglican Church in Pearston was built in 1907 and is a beautiful little church. The church is affiliated with the Anglican church in Somerset East and only has a service on the third Sunday of every month.

Above the cornerstone is a plaque put up for the church’s centenary celebrations in 1907. A.M.D.G is a Latin quote which can be translated as “For the greater glory of God” and has been used as a rallying cry for Catholics throughout history.

In front of the church is a memorial remembering eight men from the town who died during the Anglo-Boer War. It’s one of those monuments, like the church, that you won’t likely find in guidebooks and most travellers probably won’t even notice it, but it very much has historical significance.
