St. George's Church in Lebuh Farquhar, Penang, is the oldest Anglican church in South-east Asia and one of the earliest Church in Penang. It was built in 1816-1818 (Dont know which year, must recheck again) with the inspiration of Reverend R. Hutchings and the help of the East India Company and convicts.
The entrance to this stately church, named after the patron saint of England features a memorial canopy dedicated to Captain Sir Francis Light.

St George's Church is reportedly the oldest Anglican church in Malaysia. Built by convicts, at the corner of Lebuh Farquhar and Jalan Mesjid Kapitan Keling, it has been faithfully holding services since its conception in 1818. The grand Francis Light memorial that rests in front of the church is a reflection of Penang's tribute to Francis Light, who established the island in 1786. The building was designed by Captain Robert Smith, a military engineer whose oil paintings of early Penang can be seen in the Penang State Museum. Services in English are held on Sundays at 8.30am.

This beautiful Anglican church in a large green compound is built in 1818. Apparently it was built by convict labor.
You will not miss the church as you walk along Light Street pass the State Museum and the Court House (under renovation) and turn to your right towards Lebuh Masjid Kapitan Keling.
Services in English are held at 8:30 am and 10:30pm every Sunday.

Saint George's Church is said to be Malaysia's oldest Anglican church. It is an austere, early XIX century classical building representative of the cultural and religious diversity of Penang and other of its most outstanding colonial buildings.

The edifice was designed by Captain Robert Smith, a military engineer whose oil paintings of early Penang are displayed in the Museum. This is the oldest Anglican church in the country, modelled after a large church in Madras. In front of the church is a handsome memorial to Francis Light, who died on October 21, 1794. The Church maintains much of its original setting.
