CSI Brough Memorial Church is located on Brough Road, near Panneer Selvam Park circle, in the heart of Erode, Tamil Nadu, India. The church has been serving the community since its consecration in 1933.
History
The church was constructed by Rev. Antony Watson Brough, who came to Erode under the London Missionary Society. The construction works were started in 1930 and completed in 1933. It was dedicated in 1933 by Rt. Rev. Azariah and named Brough Memorial Church.[1]
Structure of the Church
The church is constructed with Indo-Saracenic architecture with the foundation depth the same as the height above the ground. Stones, lime mortar, and egg were the primary construction materials used for building and plastering. The stones and windows used for the construction were brought from Karur. Granite stones were used for the construction of pillars and arches. There are 10 stone pillars measuring 2.5 meters in circumference and 2.3 meters in height. The building has five arches, in which a hexagonal structure is carved in the middle out of a square pedestal. There is an inscription marked at the entrance stating Only God in Tamil and Ya Kudah in Arabic.[2][3]
