CSI Tucker Church, George Town, Chennai

CSI Tucker Church, George Town, Chennai
CSI Tucker Church is located at George Town, well known locality in Chennai City of Tamilnadu. The Church was founded by the Church Missionary Society in 1820, and named after its second missionary and minister Rev. John Tucker, was built on land bought from a ‘Mussalman’. The Church is famous for its 150 years old, London-made pipe organ. It still rings loud at Tamil service every Sunday. The Church did not change much as it looks just as it did in the detailed pencil drawings that Sarah, John’s sister, drew in the 1840s in letters to her ‘young friend’ Lisa, now collected in the slim volume South Indian Sketches.
