In the heart of Warmbad, where once the calming waters of Nisbett’s Bath flowed, there now resides a modest monument. This stone, proudly erected by the Methodist Church in 1978, acts as a tribute to Edward Boyer Cook, an English missionary widely regarded as the father of this town. Declared a national monument in the same year, the Edward Cook’s Commemorative Stone is believed to mark the resting place of the man, although the precise location of Cook's grave remains undetermined. Warmbad, a serene Namibian town that attracted settlers seeking the healing properties of the mineral-rich hot springs, now holds this stone as a symbol of the man who left his footprints on this humble soil.
