Description Saint John’s Church in The Wilderness at Dharansala, Himachal Pradesh is arguably the oldest Anglican Cathedral in India. Built in 1852, this Gothic style stone and mortar Church is situated amidst tall, majestic Deodar trees. The founder of Dharamsala David McLeod and Lord Elgin Viceroy of India are buried here. The graveyard, in a state of poor repair, tells the story of the travails and persistence of the British colonial rulers. Three officers of the Indian Civil Service and a few other officers and Tea Garden officials who perished in the earthquake of 1905 which devastated Kangra Valley can also be seen here. The beautiful stained glass windows and the aesthetic proportions of the building sand its location in the middle of nowhere add to the charm of this monumental Anglican Church.
