Originally built between 1831 and 1847 as the Garrison Church and serving the spiritual needs of British officers, soldiers and their families stationed at the cantonment, St Bartholomew's Cathedral is a semi-Gothic structure of understated elegance. Despite its cathedral designation, it is a modest single-storey flat-roofed building that relies for its effect on finely proportioned arches, a polished interior and the dignity of its age rather than dramatic scale. The interior features a main altar of quiet beauty and a smaller side chapel. Memorial plaques on the walls catalogue the names and dates of officers and their families who served and died in India, a poignant roll-call of the empire. The church remains active and is part of the Church of North India. Non-worshippers are welcome to visit during the day.
