Old Palapye - The Magistrate�s Residency

And why did the LMS, with or without Khama, decide to build the successor church in Serowe of stone when brick might have seemed the more obvious choice.  The remains of several buildings in Old Palapye can be identified with certainty.

Some may be identified in the course of time whilst others will continue to be a matter of speculation. One question however can be answered with absolute certainty. From Rev. WC Willoughby’s sketch map, unearthed by Professor Neil Parsons from the LMS archive in London, there is one building, apart from the church, which can be identified with absolute certainty.
