St George Church is the oldest Anglican church in South East Asia. It was built in 1816 by using convict labor.
A wonderful place to live... All about Penang.
The first known burial at the Christian cemetery took place in 1789. Captain Francis Light was buried here and so were several early governors of colonial Penang. The wall was built and Anglican cemetery consecrated around 1818. The cemetery was closed to further burials towards the end of the 19th century.
