CSI Church

The history of this CSI church starts with Mrs Eleanor Knight, wife of H.M Knight, the General Manager of the plantation. She was buried here in 1894, and some other British people were also buried in the area. Later, Knight made it a place of burial. Formally consecrated on 15 April 1900, on Easter Day, the church was built in black basalt. The church was sanctified in 1910.

The church still has its earliest 14 rosewood pews. You can also see antique chandeliers and brass plaques built in memory of influential tea planters of the time.

The church was handed over to CSI North Kerala Diocese in 1981 by the British when they left Munnar. It is now the headquarters of the CSI Munnar Pastorate and has about 1,000 Tamil families and supports 18 outstation churches.
