Community of the Resurrection of our Lord

Community of the Resurrection of our Lord. Showing Sisters of the Community of the Resurrection of our Lord with children of the industrial school. Cecil Isherwood (subsequently Mother Cecil) the foundress of the Community on the 29th April 1884 and a pioneer in education, is pictured here seated, holding a Bible, together with the other sisters. She was concerned about educational standards, and the Sisters efforts to improve their teaching qualifications led, in 1894, to the Community's founding of the Grahamstown Training College (now part of Rhodes University)
