St George's Church, Singapore

St George's Church, Tanglin, Singapore

St George's Church (GPS: 1.30481, 103.81515) is an Anglican church, part of the Diocese of Singapore. It is a red-brick building located on Minden Road, off Harding Road in Tanglin, Singapore. The present building dates to 1913.

St George's Church traces its history to the British military garrison stationed in Singapore in the late 1860s. Major C.H. Malan served as the first lay chaplain of the church, from 1868 to 1870. Under his leadership, the first church building of the St George's Church was built within the compound of the military installation. Major Malan was juggling between his duty as a military officer and that as a Victorian-era missionary. In 1871 the first full-time chaplain was appointed for the St George's Church, helping it establish organized ministry in the barracks.

In the early days, the St George's Church was used exclusively by the British troops. However when the British troops were withdrawn from Singapore, it took on a new role as a civilian church, and was admitted into the Anglican Diocese of Singapore.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
