History
Diocese of Lucknow was established in 1857 carving it out from the Diocese of Calcutta. The Diocese was given the name of Lucknow though the mother Cathedral, All Saints Cathedral and Diocesan Headquarters stayed in Allahabad. It was because Allahabad was situated within the legally defined territories of the Diocese of Calcutta.[2]
