William Emerson designed the Cathedral church of All Saint's
at Allahabad in 1870s, but it was
consecrarted only in 1887 A.D.. 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 builders.
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 the two martyrs. Following the 13th century
Gothic style, this cathedral is a remarkable example of colonial
architecture of that era.
