- The Syrians of Kunnankulam were known anciently as the Chátukulangare Syrians, from a large tank bearing that name, and it is recorded that they never acknowledged the authority of the Roman Archbishop Menezes in the 16th century when the Syrian church came under the in fluence of this emissary of Rome. It is a very interesting circumstance, that there were no representatives of the Chátukulangare Syrians at the famous Synod of Udiamparur (en)
- This old church was burnt by Tippoo when he invaded Cochin in the last century; only the walls were left standing. It has since been re-roofed and thoroughly repaired, and is now one of the finest and most spacious Syrian churches in the country. (en)
- There is another ancient church at Palur, near Chowghaut, about six miles from Kunnankulam, which is one of the seven churches said to have been founded by St. Thomas. This church is now in the possession of the Roman Catholics. Numbers of Syrians, however, are pre sent at the principal festival of the church every year. (en)
- Colonel Macaulay has accompanied me thus far We first proceeded from Cochin to the famous Shanscrit college at Trichur and thence to a district of the Syrian Christians which I had not before visited. It was named by Hyder, Nazarani Ghur or the city of the Nazarenes. It is a beautiful place fertile and populous. The town is four square having four gates built on the side of a hill with steps cut in the rock from street to street surrounded by lofty groves of palm and other trees. A verdant meadow winds about the foot of the hill and the whole country is a scene of hill and dale. The priests and peo pie knew me and received us with great affection. Colonel Macaulay accompanied me to the principal church. Having signified my intention of presenting a large gold medal to this church in the name of all the Syrian churches in Malayalam, a vast concourse of people assembled. There is no person in the town but Nazarenes. The medal which I presented to them was that which Mrs. J gave me before I left Calcutta. It is about three times as large as a college gold medal and exhibits the baptism of Jesus in Jordan elegantly executed and on the reverse a child brought to be baptized. I placed it on the altar in the presence of the people with due solemnity and beside it a gift to the poor. This town is in the territories of the Rajah of Cochin whom I visited a fortnight ago. Tippoo invaded this Syrian colony in 1789. The people pointed out to me the grove of trees on which the Christians were hanged. They are now so respectable for number and opulence that the Rajah of Cochin is obliged to treat them with indulgence and the more so as they are within four miles of the English territories in Malabar, Nazarani Bazar as it is sometimes called is due east from Paniani and is near Palghutcheri. This second visit to the Syrian churches has been useful. (en)
- The Syrians have probably been settled in this part of Cochin for centuries, though not in the pre sent town of Kunnankulam, as they have traditions that their forefathers lived near the old church of Arthat, about a mile from Kunnankulam. This old church has no village or bazaar near it now, but the Syrians say it was formerly surrounded by a large bazaar, but that in con sequence of a destructive fire, the inhabitants removed to the place where the present town of Kunnankulam stands. The church is still regarded by them with great veneration as their parish church, and as the burial place of their fore fathers, and is in fact their only cemetery now, no interments being allowed in the churchyards in the town.
