Hyderabad by Walk -Churches in Secunderabad

 Tops (Sunil Jyoti) and I have been planning a walk in Secunderabad where he said he will show me some of the nice old churches. It finally materialised today and I set off at dawn to meet him at his house in Marredpally. Off we went to St John's which was our first stop. It was shut as expected so we got a couple of pictures and walked towards St An's High School and so on.

 

Past St Ann's HS which was established in 1871.

The St. Mary's Basilica behind St Ann's High School

The Centenary Baptist Church (1875) where some women's conference was going on

The Wesley Church 1911 a little further down the road

A pit stop at the legendary Rio where we ha a lukmi and chai and met Naresh Sharma from my old cricketing days

Past the Millenium Methodist Church (new but still a church)

Back to the car and on to the magnificent All Saints Church 

The Garrison Wesley Church, 1881, pretty old, near Lal Bazaar

An ancient Wesleyan cemetery

Another old church, the Holy Trinity Church near Bollarum

That was a nice walk drive and Tops was more than happy to chow me around. We stopped for breakfast and chai at Udipi and ended a fine morning. Thanks a ton Tops. Until the next one.
