Ellis Memorial Church is a Church of South India (Latin Rite) minor basilica in C.S.I Compound, in the Town of Dharapuram (Tamil Nadu), India. It was built in the 19th century by Rev.J.J. Ellis, and rebuilt again with the status of a cathedral by the British in 1893. The British version still stands today. It was designed in Neo-Gothic style, favoured by British architects in the late 19th century.
History
The Rev Ellis [2] whom we always called J.J.E. decided that the best thing for me would be to learn Tamil in Dharapuram and whenever possible to go out to the villages with him to get to know the background and village life of the children in the boarding school. He built the C.S.I. Ellis Memorial Church [3] [4] in 1929.
This was a wonderful opportunity for me and a great stimulus for language study as of course the children and the village people didn’t know any English at all. When J.J.E. left for village visits, generally round about 2pm, I had to be ready with tea and supper picnics and we often weren’t home until 2am. He was always up again by 5am for his essential quiet-time.
