The Diocese of Madras is a diocese of Church of South India in Tamil Nadu state of India.The diocese is one among the 22 dioceses of Church of South India.The year 1640 marks the beginning of the Diocese of Madras in the Church of South India, being the year of the founding of the city of Madras, and it was only in 1647 that a Chaplain of the merchant fleet of the East India Company came ashore to celebrate Holy Communion in a temporary chapel in the Fort St. George. With the consecration of the oldest Anglican Church on the east of the Suez Canal in 1680 in the precincts of the Fort, dedicated to St. Mary the Blessed virgin, under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of London, came established presence of the non-Roman Catholic Church in Madras. The next 150 years saw the growth of the Christian population in Madras, It became obvious that the St. Mary's Church in the Fort cannot serve the growing and spread-out Christian population. So in 1815 the Church of St. George was built on the arterial road linking St. Thomas Mount and Fort St. George. On 28 October 1835 Daniel Corrie, the Archdeacon of Calcutta, was consecrated Bishop and installed in the Church of St. George, it marked both the coming into being of the Diocese of Madras and the elevation of the parish Church to St. George's Cathedral...

Architecture is very good and I love to sit in this church to pray alone. It's an excellent venue for weddings and receptions .

I have been visiting this church once-twice a year since last 5 years. Very spacious & serene atmosphere. Evening times post 6 PM are best for visiting it.

Christian religious center. A clean campus at the heart of chennai city; IOB Bank branch and ATM within the campus. CSI St. George Cathedral is at the adjacent campus.

It's a place where you can find peace of mind and has served the society for more than 200 years. It still continues to cater to the welfare of humankind.

The gardens are maintained beautifully, but the church building itself, not so much Too many broken glass windows and glass paintings. The managing committee should work on maintaining the church building properly

One of the few anglicist churches in chennai where english prayers are offered on Sundays. The arcchitecture is marvelous

Very good architecture of cathedral

200 year old cathedral. Historical plaques and cemetery. Very quiet and conducive to peaceful meditation

We the English community of St. John Britto church villivakam ,have visited the Bishop’s house 5 times on account of the parish priest who is stopped English service which is been happening last 16 years. After escalation our 9.30 service was moved to 6.30am and this Sunday announced as the Order from the Bishop to stop English service. The same grudge against the Anglo Indians which is brining is cast one of the member who went requesting a letter for her daughter college was questioned about her character and latter hit the mother. We have video of this incidents. The same was escalated to the Bishops house and a written communication was asked for the second time. Where is the justice caste in shown with our church why on politicians? We are all humbly asking for our rights to continue English.

Beautiful church. Just felt like went back to a church in the 50's. For some reason I was asked not to photograph the church. Could be due to the US embassy that's situated in the next building.

On the Cathedral Road itself, in front of Semmozhi poonga.

St. George's Cathedral is beautiful church. It's an amazing architecture and nice presence.
