Description:
St. Thomas' Anglican Church in Johnson Road was completed in 1819, and consecrated on Sunday, July 10, 1824 by Bishop Heber, the Metropolitan of Calcutta when he was visiting Dhaka. Externally, its porch, crenellated parapet, clock tower and Gothic arches are similar to the parish churches in England. The main hall is flat roofed supported by wooden girders inside, but the verandah roof is sloped. Two fluted pillars with no load bearing functions dominate an interior that is bare of statuary, but has an altar and crucifix. Dhaka, Bangladesh. September 25, 2008
