The tomb of Muhammad Saleh Kambo, court chronicler of Shah Jahan, lies in the compound of St Andrew Church on Empress Road. Saleh Kambo wrote Aml-e-Salih commonly known as Shah Jahan Nama completed 1659-60 AH and Bahar-e Sukhan, two important publications on Shah Jahan’s reign. The tomb was once located in the middle of the vast garden. Saleh Kambo built an octagonal tomb over the grave of his brother Sheikh Inayat Ullah but five years later upon his death, he was also buried in the same tomb. The tomb is octagonal in plan, octagonal drum, and hemispherical dome. The tomb received much damage during the Sikh period but later on British converted it into a church and now it is a part of a missionary school.
