St Andrew's Cathedral, Singapore

St Andrew's Cathedral, at 11 St Andrew's Road, is an Anglican Cathedral located next to the City Hall MRT station. Named after the patron saint of Scotland, it is the oldest Anglican house of worship in Singapore and was gazetted as a national monument in 1973. The Year 2006 marks the 150th Anniversary of the St Andrew's Church Mission since 1856.

West Porch and Tower

The spire rises 207 feet (63m). Housed in the spire are the Cathedral's eight bells, the largest being equal in weight to No.8 in the peal of St. Paul's Cathedral, London. Given in memory of Captain J.S.M. Fraser, H.E.I.C.S., they were cast by Taylor of Loughborough. After installation, it was discovered that the foundation of the tower would not stand the strain of ringing. The bells were then permanently fixed, their clappers tied, and they were struck with hammers instead, so that they still "chimed".

Baptismal Font
The Font, placed at the entrance to the church, for baptism, symbolises that entry into the Body of Christ is through Baptism.

Graham White Library

The Graham White Library, completed in 1952 is housed in the Memorial Hall, now known as the North Transept Hall. The 27,000 names of those Asians and Europeans who gave their lives are recorded in the Book of Remembrance kept here.

Stained Glass
