St. Andrew's Church (Haputale) S t. Andrew's Church (Sinhala: හපුතලේ ශාන්ත අන්දෘ දේවස්ථානය) is an old Church situated in Haputale in Badulla District, Sri Lanka. History The history of St. Andrew's Church runs back to the 19th century. The British people who migrated to Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) as planters during the period of British Ceylon (1815-1948 A.D.) found their settlements at several places in the country such as Haputale, Bandarawela, Nuwara Eliya, etc. (Wijesundara, 2019). Most of these settlers were Catholic devotees and therefore, churches were built near to their settlements as the places of religious activities. The St. Andrew's Church in Haputale is one such church built on 19 September 1869 (Wijesundara, 2019). A Protected Site The St. Andrew's Church situated in the village of Kadurugamuwa in the Divisional Secretariat Division of Haputale is an archaeological protected monument, declared by a government gazette notification published on 22 November 2002.
