Behavior of some people in church premises was very disappointing. When i entered the church to visit it a person came and talked rudely by saying me not to visit the church.

Church created for the Christian in you. Built by the British for the Madras Presidency and has the tubular bells which is one of a kind and not present anywhere in the world. Its age exceeds more than 200 years which makes it a vintage heritage.

Quaint church in the heart of the city nestled among a bunch of trees. Vintage construction that has been well maintained and tastefully renovated. Has a serene ambience though it actually forms a traffic island by itself
