Osmond Memorial Church, formerly known as the Wesleyan Methodist Church, was founded in 1868. Walter Osmond, a Methodist minister came to Kolkata in 1864 at the age of twenty three as a missionary evangelist and a social worker, to serve the poor and needy. For nearly thirty years he worked in Kolkata and after his death this Church was dedicated to his memory as Osmond memorial Church. This Church consists of four congregations comprising the Bengali congregation at Taltola, Kamardanga Chapel and Ballygunge Church at Bondle Road and the Santhali congregation at Taltola.
