Southwell is a settlement within the former farming district of the same name, about 23 kilometres (14 mi) from Port Alfred and about 35 kilometres (22 mi) from Grahamstown.
Established in 1849 as a mission station, it was located at Lombard's Post,[1] a fortified farmhouse originally granted to Pieter Lombard in 1790 as a leningsplaas (loan farm).[2] Canon Henry Waters was the first resident minister.[1]
In the mid-19th century it hosted a Xhosa school, which was closed down during Mlanjeni's War.[3]
The local St James Anglican Church was built in 1870.[4][5]The foundation stone was laid by Nathaniel Merriman, Archdeacon of Grahamstown.[1]
