Kanpur Memorial Church

[1] The church is situated on Albert Lane near Cawnpore Club in Kanpur Cantonment.

The church was designed by Walter Granville, architect of the East Bengal Railway.

The complete church in Lombardic Gothic style is attractively executed in bright red brick with polychrome dressings.

Its centre is occupied by a beautiful carved figure of an angel by Baron Carlo Marochetti, with crossed arms, holding palons, i.e. symbols of peace.

This carved figure was created in memory of the Bibighar massacre, where Indian rebels killed approximately 200 unarmed European women and children with guns and cleavers, throwing their remains into a nearby well and burying some survivors under the pile of bodies.
