Christ Church, Byculla

[2] The church was, in fact, built during the governorship of John FitzGibbon, 2nd Earl of Clare, who laid the foundation stone in July, 1832.

[9] The education society pledged ₹10,000, and the government gave an equal grant on the condition that the children be provided "sittings free of charge".

[4] In July 1832, John FitzGibbon, 2nd Earl of Clare, the then Governor of Bombay, laid the foundation stone and the building was ready by August 1833.

[13] Originally, the columns were to be used in the Mumbai Town Hall, which was being built at the same time, but on arrival they were judged to be oversized for that project.

Near the top of the centre light is a wreath surrounding the arms of Spencer Compton, in whose memory the window is to be placed in the church.

[16] The historic teak wood trusses were strengthened, the Corinthian columns inside the church were gilded in gold, stained glass and the architectural details of the facade, which had been compromised earlier, were restored.
