All Saints Cathedral, Allahabad

All Saints Cathedral, also known as Patthar Girja (Church of Stones) is an Anglican cathedral located in Allahabad, India.
Modeled after 13th-century Gothic style churches,〔 it is among the Gothic Revival buildings built by the British during their rule in India. British architect Sir William Emerson, who also designed the Victoria Memorial, Kolkata, designed the cathedral in 1871. It was consecrated in 1887 and was completed four years later. The church celebrates its anniversary on All Saints' Day (November 1) and is part of the Church of North India.〔 The cathedral is build at the centre of a large open space at the crossing of two of the principal roads of Allahabad, MG Marg and SN Marg.

The land for the cathedral was granted by Sir William Muir, the lieutenant governor of the North Western Provinces, thereafter Elizabeth Huntly Wemyss, his wife, laid the foundation stone on April 10, 1871. British architect Sir William Emerson was employed to designed the building, he had already designed the Crawford Market, Bombay, and followed this with the Muir Central College, Allahabad (1872–78), which is now part of the Allahabad University
According to ''The Building News'', November 25, 1887, the cathedral was commenced some 15 years ago and was at first intended for the cathedral of the North-Western Provinces and to have an open verandah and ambulatory all round. It was, however, afterwards decided that the cathedral of the North-Western Provinces should be at Lahore instead, though it is now thought probable that this will eventually form the cathedral church of a new dioceses. Since first begin, Allahabad, by reason of extension of the railway system has increased so enormously that it is found necessary to provide for the addition to the transept and choir of a nave accommodating a much larger congregation that was dreamed of at first.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://archiseek.com/2010/1877-allahabad-cathedral-uttar-pradesh-india/#.UFtP0zUe48o )〕 The great heat necessitates, the massive construction, and the two carriage porches under the towers, as well as windows low down that can be filled during the hot weather with wet khuskhus mats. The roof is supported on arches on accounts of white ants, and the general simplicity of detail is necessitated by the class of workmen obtainable in this part of India. The work is carried out in a cream-coloured stone with fine red sandstone dressings, and the roof is covered with red native tiles.
