Description
"Bhandara, The Bungalow. Bhandara - Forty miles from Nagpur" Exterior views of the bungalow building at Bhandara. Bhandara was a development of the work happening in Nagpur and extended most in the 1880s, with the opening of a new mission station there. Stephen Hislop (1817-1863) was charged, by the Free Church of Scotland, with setting up a mission in Nagpur in 1845 which had been endowed by an army officer, Brigadier W. Hill. Based 10 miles from Nagpur at Kamptee, a military camp situated on the Kanhan River, Hislop taught at the school. He learnt the Marathi (the language of western and central India) quickly and integrated with local people.
