The church dates back to the 19th century.

St. Stephen's Church was consecrated by [[John Matthias Turner]], Bishop of [[Calcutta]], on 5 November 1830. It was opened to the public [[Eucharist|communion]] on [[Easter Sunday]] 3 April 1831. It came under the [[Church of South India]] in 1947.<ref name=hist/> The architect in charge was John James Underwood, Captain, Madras Regiment.<ref name=hist2>{{cite web|url=http://www.nilgiris.tn.gov.in/newpages/Heritage%20_Trail.pdf|title=Ootacamund-Heritage Trail|publisher=nilgiris.tn.gov.in|access-date=2011-02-02}}</ref>
