Cathedral Church of Redemption is located on Church Road that stands to the west of the Parliament House. Moving away from Connaught place, the majestic red piece of the architecture falls to the left. Henry Medd, a young architect par excellence, designed this majestic cathedral that was built between 1927 and 1935. Like most of the European architects of that period, he too belonged to the Lutyens' school. He left no stone unturned in reflecting the same in the design of this cathedral. He wanted to maintain the harmony and continuity in the design as the church stands in the Lutyens bungalow zone, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens himself.

When you give it a quick look, the exterior of the church looks ordinary. It has simple red sandstone roofing that has a great degree of inclination. But once you enter the structure the magnificent interiors strike you. This Anglican Church has small recessed openings, which has dual purpose. Firstly it filters the sunlight and secondly it forms a great spectacle of light and shadow. The windows are very large and have eye catching stained glass window. The church also houses a very good Austrian built organ. The Church of North India now manages this cathedral.

The striking silver cross you see near the mass pedestal has been donated none other than Lord Irwin himself. He also donated a picture of Mary and infant Jesus, which can be seen in the eastern portion of this church. Lord Irwin is believed to have donated the picture to express his gratitude to God. It is claimed that he did it when he had a very narrow escape from the possible death, when an attempt was made to blow off his salon in the year 1929.

Besides regular mass on the Sunday morning, the cathedral hosts religious concerts on festivals such as Christmas and Easter every year. It has a personal choir of itself named the Capital City Minstrels. Catch any of concerts of choral music and carol singing on these religious occasions.
