Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

1st point at Mall road is this heritage, Church. Entry inside church generally allowed but sometimes they restrict visitor inside it. You can take picture outside Church. It is oldest landmark at Shimla and beautiful Church in India.

The church is just before the Ridge, so you'll get to cover two spots when heading over there. The church has great history here in Shimla. When we went it was closed for public viewing, but it usually opens after lunch time, which is what the guard there told us.

Standing at one end of The Ridge, the neo-Gothic Christ Church is an imposing landmark on Shimla's skyline. Built by the British in 1857, its interior is plain in appearance except for some splendid stained-glass windows at the eastern end. Amongst these, the chancel window was designed by Lockwood Kipling, the father of Rudyard Kipling. As you would expect from a church of the British India era there are many plaques and memorials on the walls. Living not far from Tonbridge in Kent, I was amazed to see one memorial honouring Arthur Pearse Howell, a former pupil of Tonbridge School. Another interesting memorial honours Lieutenant-General Sir Gerald de Courcy Morton. Described as "a noble character and a simple gentleman", this is the person who developed the 'dumdum' bullet beloved by big game hunters and thriller writers. If you are anywhere on The Ridge, it is worth entering to have a look at this historic building.

This church is an interesting Victorian space.
The plaques lining the walls are memorials to those lost in India during the British Raj era and are fascinating. Some nice stained glass too. This is a good spot to relax and reflect just yards from the hubbub of town.
