The area surrounding St. Thomas Mount was used for British-era burials.

St. Thomas Mount is 11 km south of Madras and is traditionally held to be the site of the martyrdom of the Apostle St. Thomas. Fr. Gaspar Coelho, Vicar of the Church in Mylapore in 1545, records that one Diego Fernandes, a Portuguese, built a small oratory on top of the hill over the foundation of a very ancient church in 1523 AD. The spot was already a place of pilgrimage. Since the number of pilgrims was increasing, Fr. Coelho laid the foundation for a bigger church on 23 March 1547 and completed the existing church within a year.
