The Collage of Pictures of “Wesley Church” at the Egmore junction. this 104 year old church founded in 1905 by the Methodists is now part of Church of South India (CSI).

An impressive architecture and amazing natural lighting is the specialty of this church. Since i’d gone during the sunday mass, couldn’t click any pictures of their interior, which i’ll do soon and post here.

  1. Does anyone know why many of these British period buildings are in Saffron color?

    Ram: Im not responsible … ;)

  2. Wesley, is my middle name and my grandfather’s middle name. I thought it was very old. I didn’t think a town would be named Wesley or a church. But here is the church. And a nice set of photos.

    We had thunderstorms last night and lots of rain and lightening.

    Ram: Oh thats a brilliant and pleasant coincidence Abraham “Wesley” Lincoln …. :D

  3. I am interested in the biography of Rev John Breeden who was appointed to this church in 1898 as a missionary of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society. Rev Breeden went on to lead reforms in colonial education that enabled the establishment of Laidlaw Memorial in Ketti (Nilgiris) and before that as St George’s Homes in Kodaikanal in 1914. I would be interested to correspond with anyone who has access to biographical notes, photographs, papers, albums or a general interest in adding to the current archive being prepared for that schools’ centenary.

    Ram: Will spread the word on your lookout and possibly forward some contacts, John.

  4. Brian,

    I have contacted Al and helped him with his interest in Rev Breeden.
    Please webmaster, help make the connection to Brian Cox as none of my messages appear to get posted.

  5. [...] The Renovated CSI Wesley English Church could be found at the footsteps of St Thomas Mount. You might recall the famous one in the same name here. [...]
