Overlooking the spectacular Ooty Lake, the Gothic-styled St Thomas Church that is situated on a small hillock, away from the hustle and bustle of the hill town, has enough charm to make one fall in love with the place.
While the corrugated iron roof would leave a good impression at the first glance itself, it’s the 153-year-old wooden flooring that would grab your eyes first while entering the church. The colonial-era furniture, including a brass candle holder, and the stained-glass window that decorates the altar at the western-end of the church add to the beauty of its interiors.
The church also houses a graveyard, which has already found its way into the silver screen. The tombstone of William Patrick Adam, who was the governor of the Presidency of Fort Saint George, is another attraction that you can’t miss here. Crowned by a cross, the structure is taller than the church.
