Duff Church

The Duff Church was established in 1848 and named as Duff Church in 1910 in memory of Alexander Duff.

Alexander Duff was the first Scottish Missionary sent to India in 1830 by the Scotland's General Assembly.  As a missionary his immense contribution for various social reforms is worth remembering.  The famous road in North Calcutta 'Duff Street', the renowned Girls Higher Secondary School in North Calcutta 'Duff School' and the church on the Easter side of the famous swimming pool Hedua 'Duff Church' bears the name of Alexander Duff.
