About St. John's Anglican Church

St. John’s Anglican Church is a monumental symbol of colonial history and architectural grandeur. Established in 1869 near the Thalassery Fort, it was built under the patronage of Sir Edward Brennan, a prominent British official. Known locally as the English Church, this structure is one of the earliest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the region.


The church's architecture features elegant spires and stained glass windows that reflect the artistic styles of the time. Inside, the church holds intricate wood carvings and frescoes that adorn the walls and ceilings. The altar, with its ornate carvings and gold leaf details, stands out as a masterpiece. Additionally, the church houses unique murals that depict biblical scenes, showcasing the rich mural tradition of Kerala integrated with Christian themes.


St. John's is also home to a cemetery where Sir Edward Brennan and other colonial-era officials are interred. His epitaph, "The Sterling Upright Englishman," marks his grave, adding personal history to the site. This church remains a significant attraction for visitors interested in architecture, history, and spirituality.
