Lonely Planet review for Protestant Cemetery

Here on Jln Sultan Ahmad Shah, the mouldering tombs of colonial officials huddle together under a canopy of magnolia trees. Here you'll find the graves of Captain Francis Light and many others, including governors, merchants, sailors and Chinese Christians who had fled the Boxer Rebellion only to die of fever in Penang.

Also here is the tomb of Thomas Leonowens, the young officer who married Anna - the schoolmistress to the King of Siam made famous by Deborah Kerr in the King and I. The 1999 remake, Anna and the King, was filmed in Malaysia, including some scenes in Penang.
