Located on the Fort St. George grounds is St. Mary's Church, the oldest Anglican church in Asia. Actually, the sign boasts of being the oldest Anglican church east of the Suez. Dating back to 1680, the church's exterior seemed in rather good condition. This still-active church was the place where Elihu Yale was married. Yale began his career here as a clerk with the East India Company and later founded Yale University using his amassed fortune.
