St Mary’s Anglican Cathedral

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:56:15

This handsome Gothic-revival English country church was designed by government architect AC Norman and erected in 1894. It was the first brick church in Malaysia and it still maintains a small Anglican congregation. Inside is a fine pipe-organ built in 1895 by Henry Willis (though since heavily restored), the Englishman responsible for the organ in St Paul's Cathedral in London. It's now dedicated to Sir Henry Gurney, the British high commissioner to Malaya, assassinated in 1951 during the Emergency.
