Macrorie House Museum

Situated on the· corner of Loop and Pine Streets, it belonged to the right Reverend Bishop of Maritzburg, William Kenneth Macrorie, from 1870 to 1892.   Bishop Macrorie came to Natal as a result of a schism in the Anglican Church brought about by the controversy surrounding the Bishop of Natal, John Colenso.   The house is furnished in Victorian style throughout  and contains the Bishop’s miniature Chapel and the reredos he brought with him to Natal in 1869. One of the six bedrooms includes a display on the lives of both Bishop Macrorie and Bishop Colenso. The house is widely reputed to have a ghost.  Tea can be arranged in the garden.
