One of the oldest church of Calcutta, this sprawling church has a soothing effect. Entering the high ceilinged interior one finds oneself belittled in front of the altar.

This is just a church!! In need of a serious clean inside. We visited on the eve of Good Friday and I really thought there would be more effort made considering this is the most holy day in the Christian calendar. Instead down the back of the church was a lawn mower, wheel barrow and gardening implements. Inside. It's worth... More

Good to view the black hole memorial which was on my Must See list. Usual piles of rubbish and building rubble dot the grounds. Lady Canning's tomb was covered with bird droppings. A quiet place to escape the busy streets, just need to close your eyes to the general disorder.

However, it the distinct architecture of the portico which adds the charm. Things to look for : Johann Zoffany's Last Supper, Job Charnock's Mausoleum (in the far NW corner of the compund in an apparently... More

Another must visit, a building that played a key part in both Calcutta's and wider India's future. Head there with a a guide or a (very) good book to make it all come to life.
