History
Kanpur Memorial Church was built in 1875 to commemorate the British lives lost during the Siege of Cawnpore (Kanpur) in the 1857 uprising. Designed by Walter Granville, the church stands as a memorial to the victims. The church's architecture reflects the Gothic Revival style prevalent during the British Raj. Over the years, it has become an important part of Kanpur's history and cultural heritage, serving as a reminder of a significant historical event. It continues to be an active church and a place of worship for the Anglican community in Kanpur.
