The English or Anglican Church famous as Saint Saviours can rightly be ranked as one of the oldest of its kind, built in 1881. It is situated just opposite the Lucus Park. The church is owned by the protestants. The church is also annexed with an old high school, which caters to the educational needs of the area at considerably affordable cost. It was built to facilitate the man power working on the Bolan pass and railway line. This was not open for the Asians until the Indo-Pak partition of 1947. The church is also famous because of the Murial tablet affixed on its main entrance. It is in the memory of "David Ramsay, 6th son of Major General the Honourable John Ramsay, and Late Lieutenant, 37th Regiment, during the expedition to Afghanistan, aged 27" The organ in the church is said to have been built by Mr. F.F. Robertson, the superintendent engineer of the Lansdowne Bridge.
