St. John's Church, Arcot, Tamil Nadu India

St. John's Church-For almost a century and a half it has been so central, so important in the lives of its congregation.

St. John's Church houses several objects of historical and sentimental value, some of which are older than the Church itself. The stunningly beautiful stained-glass window above the altar, in its still-vibrant colours of bright pinks, jewel reds and soft, natural skin tones, is at least a hundred years old. Both the window (representing the crucifixion) and the elegant, grey granite baptismal font, were presented to the Church by the widow of Lieut. Col. William Sim McLeod, Suptd. Of Vellore Jail, in memory of her husband who died in 1883.
