Christmas Day Massacre Site:
Sir Harry Smith established a chain of so-called military villages along the fertile Tyume valley in order to keep it for white occupation. The white families, who were unarmed were attacked by the Xhosa during the outbreak of hostilities in 1950. All the inhabitants of Woburn village were killed. The warriors then attacked Juanasburg Mission but allowed women and children to flee to Fort Hare.
