Solution
The Church has historic and aesthetic merit both. There are many types of services: the baptism, marriages, etc. that the Church provided and their record could be found in Church’s Register from 1751 to 1804. For more than 40 years it was maintained in the handwriting of the Minister of the Church, Predikant Comelies. During the 1930s the leaves of the Register were repaired by handwriting experts in London. At present only their photocopy, and not the original leaves, could be examined by persons visiting the Church. The Clock on this Church was erected in the year 1923 in memory of Hal Harrison Jones, the then Managing Director of Aspin wall and Company. There is in its premises a Cenotaph, a monument, or a War Memorial in memory of the residents of Cochin who fell during the First World War.
