The Historical Village of Sidbury

In the midst of the Kwantu Reserve, lies the village of Sidbury. The Sidbury Plains, resting within the heart of Frontier Country, have a war torn history. During the early Nineteenth Century, many a fierce battle was waged between the British Settlers and the local people on these rolling grassy fields. The old house in Greenvale farm belonged to Henry Nosworthy and his wife Johanna Katerina and their seven daughters during the 1850's.Henry had emigrated to the Cape in 1839, where his brother drowned in Table Bay. His brothers' son Spencer, was working as a horticulturist in Cape Town when Nosworthy started ordering seeds for Greenvale. Greenvale was sold to a captain Harrison after the First World War, by Henry's son George.

Since the visit to Sidbury by HRH, The Queen of England, in 1861, the famous Sidbury cricket ground continues to host exciting contests.
