The Anglican Diocese of Natal covers the western part of the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal, west and south of the Tugela and Buffalo rivers. The episcopal leader of the diocese is the Bishop of Natal.
History
The diocese was founded with the consecration of John William Colenso on St Andrew’s Day, 30 November 1853, at the Lambeth Parish Church in England. The oldest consecrated Anglican church in the diocese is St Mary's in Richmond. The parish began with a small pole-and-daga church in March 1853 and St Mary’s was consecrated three years later by Bishop Colenso and used by other denominations until their own churches were built.
