Fifteen minutes' walk from McLeod Gunj, the Anglican church
lies in the forest near Forsyth Gunj. This neo-Gothic stone
church was built in 1852 and has some fine Belgian
stained-glass windows. It miraculously survived the 1905
earthquake - only the spire collapsed. A memorial to Lord
Elgin stands in the churchyard. The British Viceroy died in
Dharamsala and is buried here. Visiting hours for the church
and cemetery are 10 am to 5 pm each day. |
