Protestant graveyard is the oldest Christian graveyard in
Penang. Not far from the Eastern & Oriental Hotel, it is also called
Northam Road graveyard and was set up in the 18th-century for British colonial
administrators, traders and missionaries that arrived after Penang’s
establishment in 1786. The Protestant church’s earliest grave is that of
Captain Francis Light (one of the fathers of British colonialism in Southeast
Asia).Other graves include those of James Richardson Logan (editor of the
Penang Gazette) and Reverend Hutchings (early leader of St. George’s Church and
founder of the Penang Free School).During merdeka time there will sound of
marching and its is very scary will students hear that noise. That marching
sound will start around evening and will end at around midnight because this
people will go at that place when night time.
