St. Mary Magdalene Church is one of Lahore's largest and oldest worship centers. Its construction in 1856 AD spanned six years and cost Rs. 90,000 at that time.
A visitor named Kim Whysall-Hammond, also known as The Cheeseseller Wife, commented on October 3, 2020, on my article on St. Mary Magdalene Church. She shared the discovery of a prize awarded to her mother in 1934 for regular attendance at St. Mary Magdalene Church when her mother was merely 6 years old. Her father served in the RAF.
Expressing gratitude for the information and the beautiful photos of the church, Kim shared that her mother often recounted her childhood in Lahore. She mentioned her mother's expulsion from school due to befriending individuals from the local community. During my childhood, I also attended school there for twelve years.
This narrative also illustrates the Colonial British's behavior towards locals, depicting a segregationist stance where interaction with the local population was discouraged.
