All Saints' Church, Taiping

All Saints' Church is an Anglican church building in Taiping constructed from wood with Gothic design features throughout its structure. The building displays meranti wooden panels and hardwood frames, while a louvered tower houses four tubular bells for worship services.

All Saints' Church was established in 1887 on land donated by planter W.V. Drummond, making it the first church building in the Federated Malay States. This founding marked an important milestone in the religious infrastructure development of the region.

The cemetery reflects the presence of early European settlers and servicemen through individually crafted tombstones that remain scattered across the grounds. These graves tell stories of people who made their lives in the region during colonial times.

The building opens for services on Sundays conducted in three different languages to serve various communities. Visitors are welcome to attend services or explore the grounds respectfully, keeping in mind the historic wooden structure requires careful handling of the space.

The building houses one of Malaysia's few surviving original pipe organs, which continues to function and receive regular maintenance. This rare instrument represents a musical connection to the colonial era when such organs were more common in churches across the region.
