The cantonment area in Agra is spaciously laid out on the usual rid-pattern. The St. George's Church located in this area is a typical Cantonment Church. Designed by Colonel J. T. Boileau
in 1826, it is a beautiful building of yellow ochre stucco with white
dressings. The church is conventional and restrained, the entrance being
approached through a small vestibule with inches. The interior is
divided into a central nave and side aisles by six Ionic columns
carrying a slightly vaulted roof. The chancel at the east end has been
Gothicized at a later date with a carved white sandstone screen and the
altar was enriched with the marble inlay work, for which Agra is famous.
