St. George's Anglican Church, Penang, Malaysia

1, Lebuh Farquhar, George Town, 10200 George Town, Pulau Pinang

Colonial-era Anglican church with Doric columns, holding a secret nighttime burial beneath its chancel floor.

This guide to St. George's Anglican Church on Penang Island centers on Harriet Fullerton, wife of Straits Settlements governor Robert Fullerton, who died in 1830 leaving her husband fearful of how her grave might be treated. You'll hear about the church itself, raised in 1817-18 by the British East India Company with convict labor whose chisel marks still score the front steps, and about the memorial tablets lining its walls for soldiers, chaplains and governors. Look for the black marble slab set into the floor near the altar rail as you listen.
