The oldest in South East Asia Anglican Church in George Town was built to mark the 100th year of Penangs founding

Colourful history: The mahagony tree on the grounds is as old as the church.

BUILT in Western neo-classical style influenced by ancient Greek and Roman architecture, the newly restored St George’s Church is now an imposing white wonder.

This oldest Anglican Church in South-East Asia, and probably the largest in the country, has stood proudly in Farquhar Street, George Town, for close to two centuries.
