The Hidden Graveyard Inside a Kolkata Church

Did you know one of Asia's most historically significant graveyards is hidden right in the courtyard of a Kolkata church?

In this episode of Curious Voyager, we step inside the shaded sanctuary of St. John's Church. Built right over the British East India Company's original cemetery after the Battle of Plassey, this courtyard holds the remnants of a faded empire. From the 1695 octagonal mausoleum of Job Charnock built with Madras granite, to the towering 15-meter Black Hole Monument, and the memorial of Lady Canning—the namesake of the famous Bengali sweet, "Ledikeni"—every stone here tells a story.
