St Andrew's Presbyterian Church was built in 1929 (opened 1930) to provide services for Scottish expatriates (mainly planters) in the area. The land at 47, Golf Club Road (Jalan Kelab Golf) was granted free of charge by the state government. The two years of fund-raising was led by Ipoh's first presbyterian minister, George Nicol, who saw the foundation stone laid but had returned to Scotland by the time the church was consecrated the following year.
During the second world war, Ipoh was occupied by the Japanese from 1941, the congregation was scattered and the Chinese Synod took over St Andrew's. The Malayan Emergency (1948 to 1960) saw further instability for the country and for the church, and difficulties in maintaining a European minister culminated in the the last expatriate minister in the mid-1960's. Dr John Roxborogh, lecturer in Theology at the Theologian Seminary of Malaysia, is quoted as saying, “the church has served its purpose for the colonial era and now it has a new life”. 1 St Andrew's Presbyterian Church continues to serve the local population and a new, larger church building now sits behind the tiny original church building.
The cache is now affixed to the fence. Don't try to walk straight in from the road, as the ditch will be wet. It is far easier to approach the fence via the driveway.
