The Cathederal of St. Thomas is located in Mumbai.
St. Thomas Cathedral is believed to be the oldest British building in Mumbai. The building was completed in 1718, as a place of worship for the East India Company.
The interior looks much the same today as it did in the 18th century, whitewashed and furnished with polished brass, wood and stained glass windows.
I expect that the stone font is as old as the church itself, but have no documentation to that effect.
The church is open for visitors from 6am to 6:30 PM. Services are held at 7:30 am.
