St Thomas Church, Dhaka

Dhaka, Bangladesh · built 1821

St. Thomas Cathedral Church is a cathedral belonging to the Diocese of Dhaka of the Church of Bangladesh, which is a United Protestant denomination that formed as a result of a merger between the Anglican and Presbyterian churches in the region. It is the seat of the diocese. The church premise was in an area of lush greeneries with the famous Bahadur Shah Park at a stone's throw distance on the south. The north–south axial Nawabpur Road/Johnson Road, the most important commercial street connecting the old part of the city with the new, is on the west and separated the area from the court, Bank, DC's office and Jagannath University buildings across it. In fact the church overlooking the greens is a major focal of the city centre in the nineteenth century.
