The St John’s Church, at Sekpura, Midnapore was built in 1851 by the Church of England. Midnapore once had a sizeable Christian population and still has good number of churches with different affiliations. The yellow building has elegant colonial pillars and a white statue of Jesus Christ. This church has a tall spire, which is not common in this geography. There are several graves on the compound of the church.
