The 1820 Settlers National Monument, which honours the contribution to South African society made by the British 1820 Settlers, overlooks Grahamstown (Makhanda) in the Eastern Cape. It commemorates the Anglo-South Africans, as well as the English language, as much as the settlers themselves. The building was designed by John Sturrock, who was inspired by the work of Louis Kahn. The building was built by Murray and Stewart (EP) Pty Ltd
