THE ROLE OF PROTESTANT CHRISTIAN MISSION IN THE PROMOTION OF EDUCATION IN TIRUNELVELLI. Abstract Bishop Middleton, the first Anglican Bishop of Calcutta who visited Tirunelveli in 181 6 reports that he found in Palayamkottai a mission church and a Christian school with 41 children. In the same year James Hough was appointed as Government Chaplain in Tirunelveli. He mentions the existence of several small Christian schools; but complaints that had no books and proper teachers. In 1818 he purchased a site near the Holy Trinity Church at Palayamkottai and started a school nearby. When he left Palayamkottai, two years later he had opened as many as 12 schools in the district.
