Christianity in India - An Historical Narrative
By John William Kaye
Published by Smith, Elder & Co., London - 1859
Sir John William Kaye (1814 - 24 July 1876) was a British military historian.
The son of Charles Kaye, a solicitor, he was educated at Eton College and at the Royal Military College, Addiscombe. From 1832 to 1841 he was an officer in the Bengal Artillery, afterwards spending some years in literary pursuits both in India and in Britain. In 1856 he entered the civil service of the East India Company, and when the government of India was transferred to the British crown, he succeeded John Stuart Mill as secretary of the political and secret department of the India office. In 1871 he was made a KCSI. He died in London.

Image details : Pencil drawing of a Syrian church at Kottayam by Josiah Bateman (c.1802-1893) in 1835. Inscribed on the front is: 'I scrambled through a native house and stood upon a mound in the garden rather too close to the church in order to take this view. It is rather more confined than this gives the idea of but quite correct - I wandered here the first morning'. A further inscription on the front reads: 'Pure Syrian Church at Cattayam in which the Bishop preached Nov. 22. 35. Called the Little Church taken from a garden close at hand'. Kottayam, previously a part of the princely state of Travancore, is situated in the foothills of the Western Ghats, Kerala, southern India. The area has traditionally been an important base for the Syrian Orthodox community in India. Two important churches dedicated to St. Mary, the Valia Pallia and the Cheria Palli (‘small church’) are situated on a hill at Kottayam 50 metres apart. The Cheria Palli, featured in this drawing, was consecrated in 1579 and has some attractive murals of biblical scenes painted over the altar. Source : British Library
