About this Item
William Emerson designed the Cathedral church of All Saints at Allahabad in 1870's but it was consecrated only in 1887. The church, which has been described as the finest Anglican Cathedral in Asia, is faced in White Stone from Surajpur with red stone dressings.Built in stages this Cathedral had Messrs Frizzoni and Co. and Messrs Martin and Co. as the chief builder. The total cost came to over Rs. 6,00,000. No one visiting the cathedral can fail to be impressed by the beauty of the marble altar with intricate inlay and mosaic work. The central panel represents the crucification with figures of Virgin Mary and St. John at the base. The other figures are St. Mathew, St. Mark, St. Luke and of the two martyrs. Following the 13th century gothic style this cathedral is a remarkable example of colonial architecture of that era.
