Memorial church at Futteygurh, India, 1864. Creator: Unknown
Memorial church at Futteygurh, India, 1864. 'Futteygurh is a station in the North-Western Provinces of India, distant about eighty miles from Cawnpore, and, like Cawnpore in the time of the Sepoy mutiny of 1857, it fell into the hands of the rebels, when nearly every European in the station was slaughtered. The bodies of many of our unfortunate countrymen were thrown into a well, over which a monument has been erected by the Government of the North-Western Provinces. The church, represented by our Engraving, is built within a stone's cast of the well, and forms one of the most conspicuous objects at the station. This church was consecrated on Sunday, Feb. 15, 1863, by the Lord Bishop of Calcutta. It received the name of All Souls' Church, by which it was designed to keep in memory the circumstance of its erection and the memory of those victims of the massacre of 1857 whose bodies lie so near the church. It holds about 300 people, and has the advantage of being contiguous to the soldiers' barracks. The present Chaplain is the Rev. B. Templeman, late of Pembroke College, Oxford'.
