William Emerson designed the Cathedral church of All Saints at Allahabad in 1870's but it was consecrated only in 1887. The church which has been described as the finest Anglican Cathedral in Asia is faced in White stone from surajpur withred stone dressing. No one visiting the cathedral can fail to be impressed by the beauty of the marble altar with intricate inlay and mosaic work. The central panel represents the crucification with figures of Virgin Mary and St. John at the base. The other figures are St. Mathew, St. Mark, St.Luke and of the two martyrs. Following the 13 th century gothic style this cathedral is remarkable example of colonical architecture of that era.
