Cantonment Church Tower, Karnal
The tower of St James's Church in the old Karnal cantonment, the first Anglican church built in the Upper Doab for the East India Company's Bengal Army garrison in 1808. The nave was demolished in the 1890s when the cantonment moved to Umballa; the surviving tower is one of the oldest intact pre-Mutiny Anglican structures in north-western India.
