St.Mary's Church-Fort St. George

St.Mary's Church, the first Anglican Church in India, was constructed in 1680. It was here that the marriages of the then Governor of Madras Elihu Yale- the one who established the Yale University in USA- and Robert Clive were solemnised. The tomb stones found in its courtyard are the oldest British tomb stones in India. Fort St.George, Kamaraj Road,(South line beach), Chennai-9. Ph:044-25672023.
