NOTES. 



St. Maby'3 Chobch was the first Protestant Churcb 
erected in India. It was built during the administration 
of Mr. Streynsham Master, who was Governor from 
January 1678 to July 1681. The foundations were 
commenced on Lady Day in the year 1678, and the work 
was completed in two years and a half. The opening of 
the Church is noticed in the Coneultations as follows : — 

" Thuraday, 28th October 1680.— The new Church was dedicated 
by virtue of CommisBioaa directed to the Ch}Yemment, and to 
Mr. Richard Fortman, the miniBter, from His LordBhip the Bishop 
of London. The solemnity was performed ia very good order, 
and concluded with volliea of small shot fired by the whole 
gajrison drawn out aud the cannon round the Fort. The Church 
named St, Mary's as at first intended and from this day forward 
all public service to be there performed." 

" It is observable tiiat at the dedication of a iiew^jChurch by the 
French Padres and Portuguese in 1675, Sir William Langhome, 
then Agent, had fired gnus from the Fort ; and yet at this time 
neither Padre nor Portuguese appeared at the dedication of our 
Church, nor so much as gave the Ch)vemor a visit afterwards to 
wish him joy of it." 

The expenses of the building were to be entirely 
defrayed by the voluntary subscriptions of the English 
residents, but twelve years later the intention of the 
Honourable Company to present a peal of belle was 
notified in a General Letter, dated 22nd January 1692, 
from the Directors to the Agency at Fort Saint George 
in the following terms : — 

" We have desired Captain Goldsborough to go in hand 
immediately with the building of a steeple to your Cborchj with 



:dbv Google 



the nuHiey collected for that parpoee, eceording to dimensions 
given him ; and hj oar next ship we intend to send yon a ring of 
BiK tunable Bells to fix in onr steeple which tlie founder tells us 
cannot be cast at this season of the year." 

The first minister appointed to the Ohnrch was, aa 
mentioned above, the Reverend Richard Portman. The 
following is a copy of the form of the Latin certificate 
on which he was instituted, made from a now nearly 
illegible drafl of the document which is given in Flute 
100.

The Tombstonks (Plates 1 to 91) lie within the 
railings that surround the Church. They are principally 
laid so 86 to form a pavement on the north side of the 
Church between the gate of the enclosure, the door of 
the nave, and that of the vestry. Only one of them 
(Plate 90) is fixed on the outer wall of the Church. 

They appear to have been removed to the present 
site from the cemeteries that formerly existed on the 
esplanades without tbe Fort, where a few monuments still 
remain and where the ground is said to be full of graves. 
It is, however, probable that the atone in memory of 
GovEENOK Feancis HASTINGS (Plate 91) marks the actual 
spot of his interment ; he was appointed President in 
January 1720, but was superseded after holding oflSce 
for a year and a half, and died Just on the eve of embark- 
ation for home. The record in the Consultations is : 



:dbv Google 



" Friimj, 15tb December 1721. This erening died the late 
President, Francis Bastings, Esq." 

The following extracts from records indicate that the 
remova] of the tablets took place subsequent to, and in 
consequence of, the second siege of the Fort by the 
French under Count Lally from 14th December 1758 to 
16th February 1759 :— 

Extract vrom Con'sultatioits, Milftakt Departmrnt, 
dated Fort St. Oeorse, 16th Hanih 1769. 

Letter from Hu Engineer, Fort St. George, \ith March 1759. 



But above all I must beg leave to mention that we lately suffered 
great inconveniences from tiie tombs at the burying ground ; 
which being large arched etmotures, placed in a line almost close to 
each other, and opening into one another, not only protected the 
enemy from our shot, but afforded them a cover equally safe against 
our shells. I therefore hope, Honorable Sir and Sire, while tbt^se 
ciroumatanoes are treeii in every one's memory you will be pleased 
to give orders for removing this evil. 

1 am, with the greatest respect, 

Honorable Sir and Sirs, 
Tour most obedient humble Bervaiit, 
JOHN CAU^ 

Ordered that the several repairs recommended by Mr. Call to be 
made to the fortifications be set abont with all expedition and 
particularly that means be immediately taken for levelling the 
tombs at the burying groimd. 

Extract from Con9wltation9, Public Department, 

dated Fort St. George, 29th January I76y. 

Letter from the Ministers and Church Wardens of St. Mary's 

Church, dated the 25th January, read as entered hereafter, setting 

forth that as it has been found necessary to demolish the tombs and 



:dbv Google 



walls of the burying gronnd in order to extend the esplutade to 
the northward ot the town the "Veetry have directed them to request 
the Board will grant another piece of ground to be appropriated to 
that use. 

Ordered that the Engineer do pitch upon a proper spot for that 
piirpose. 

EXTRACTT FROM MlNCTES OP THE "VeSTRT OF 8t. MaRY's FaEISH, 

dated Fort St. George, 6th January 1760. 

The tombs of the burying ground having been demolished in 

order to extend the esplanade to the northward of the town, agreed 

that iq>plioation be made to the President and Council for the grant 

of another piece of ground to he appropriated to that use. 

Idem, dated 15th Jaaoaiy 1760. 
The Church Wardens also acquaint the Vestry that having, 
pursuant to a Keeolution of the 8th January, made application to 
the Governor and Council for a piece of ground for aburying place, 
they were acqiiaint«d that orders had been given to the Engineer 
to appoint a ajwt for that purpose. 

The mausoleum on the Light House Esplanade is the 
only one of the ' arched structures ' now standing. When 
the others were razed it may possibly have been spared 
on account of the two memorials it contains being 
connected so intimately with the Council. 

The subject of the first tablet (Plate 92) has a distinct 
of&cial record in the Consultationa dated Thursday, 26th 
January 1688. 

" The Council did not meet this day, the PreBidenfa only son 
dying last night, was interred this morning to their great grief 
and 8' 



Mr. EuHU Yale was Governor from 1687 to 1692. 
The other tablet (Plate 93) facing it records a vacancy 
in the Council Chamber; Mr. Joseph Hymnebs had been 



:dbv Google 



a Ifember of Council since 1670, and held also the post 
of Mint Master for several years. 

The following petition is of interest as regards the old 
cemetery. 

" To The HoMocRABLB William Fbazbr, Esq., &e. 

" ^e petitioii of the Miniiters and Churchvatdeiu of the 
Pftrish of 8t Uary'a in Fort St Geo^e. 

" Hmnhljr repreeentoth — 

That whereas the monuments of the dead, and the ground 
where they ore interred are held hy moit people in some measure 
•acred, and not lightly applied to any common or profane nee, 
yet it ia our mirfortnne that the English burying place in Fort St. 
George (where so many of our relations, friends and aoquaintants 
lie buried) is not kept in that decent and due manner it ought to 
be, but every day profaned and ^phed to the most vile and 
undeoent oees ; for siuoe the year 1701, when an old building 
that stood in the burying place (and in which the Buffaloes used 
to be shut] was taken down to build lodgings for the aoldiers at 
the Gate adjoining, the Tombs have been made use of for stables 
for the Buffaloes ; which is not only a thing very ondeoent, but 
also a very great damage to those buildings, by having so many 
stakes drove into the pavement and with the walls to fasten the 
Buffaloes to. 

*' Another oooasion of oar complaint on this subject is the 
Cocoannt trees standing in the burying place ; the profit arising 
from them, we know is inconsiderable, but the nuisance accruing 
to the place thereby, we are sure is veiy great. For the Toddy 
men have people empl(r|red there all the day and almost all the 
night in drawing and selling of Toddy, so that we are obliged on 
their floooont to keep the Gatss always open, both by day and by 
night. And there about eight o'clock at night after work lb done 
ia such a resort of basket makers, Scavengers people that look 
after the Buffaloes and other porrittrs to drink Toddy, that all the 
Punch honees in Madras have not half the noise in them ; and by 
leasoD of the gates lying open, beggars and other vagabonds (who 



:dbv Google 



know not where to go) make me of the Tomba to lie in, and what 
unclean oses the neighboan thereabout do make of that place we 
forbear to telL We hope what is here \irged. together with the 
reflection it must oaat on onr Church and nation to have so little 
regard to the repootories of our dead when all otiber nations who 
live unong ns have bo just a regard to theirs will prevail with yoor 
Honour, &&, to take this mattw into your consideration and to 
find out some meathod to redress these abases. And your 
petitioners as in duty bound shall, &c.

The Chueoh Plate exhibited in Plates 94 to 
98 is of considerable interest. 

Plate 94 represents a large silver gilt dish or basin 
presented to the Church by Governor Yale in 1687. This 
basin is 17 inches in diameter and weighs 3 lb. 2 oz. 

Plates 95 to 98 represent another larger basin and a 
flagon, also silver gilt, purchased for the use of the 
Church with the proceeds of a legacy left by Lady 
Coldsbrough, wife of Sir John Goldsbrough, Commissary 
General. Sir John died in November 1693, and his wife 
just five years later. The basin is 23 inches in diameter 
and weighs 6 lb. 10 oz. The flagon is 10-^ inches in 
height, its diameter at the top and bottom 7 and 5 
inches respectively, and its weight is 2^ lb.

Thene pieces of plate are still in use. 

Thb Pbateb for the Honourable East India Company 
(Plate 99) was issued by the authority of the Bishop of 
London (Henry Gompton), the Company's territories 
being under the jurisdiction of that See in matters eocle- 
Biastical till 1814, when Thomas Faoshaw Middleton was 
appointed first Bishop of Calcutta. 

This special prayer was used for the Honourable Com- 
pany till 1849, when it was set aside by Bishop 'Wilson 
o£ Calcutta in faTor of the modified form of the Prayer 
for Parliament as now used in India. 

The Plates 1 to 98 of this collection are photoUtho- 
graphs of facimxle drawings done by Mr. Thomas 
Perreire, at the cost of His Grace the Duke of Backing- 
ham and Chandos. The whole work was executed 
under the supervision of Uq'or C. C. Su*geaunt and 
J. H. Merriman, Esq., of the Revenue Survey Depart- 
ment.
