St Mark Church

St Mark's Church was founded in 1857 and recently celebrated its 150th anniversary. At the junction of Badulla which has the clock tower in the center. You appreciate the small cemetery where the first settlers of the English community are buried. The British arrived in Sri Lanka in the eighteenth century and gradually took cities from the Dutch. They came by boat with poor conditions so many were sick, and some did not arrive alive. Many also died because they were unaccustomed to tropical diseases. The church is rather a small chapel of colonial style. As the Anglican community is small it isn't open all the time.
