Bombay Church (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781023904674)

"Bombay Church, Or, a True Account of the Building and Finishing [Sic] the English Church at Bombay" offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of British colonial presence in India. Penned by Richard Cobbe, this historical work details the construction of the English church in Bombay, providing insights into the challenges, resources, and individuals involved in establishing a place of worship for the English community in the 18th century.

Cobbe's account is not merely a chronicle of construction; it is a window into the social, religious, and architectural landscape of the time. Readers will discover details about the materials used, the labor force employed, and the significance of the church as a symbol of English identity in a foreign land. This book is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the intersection of religion, colonialism, and architectural history.
