The land upon which the church and the adjacent Bishop's house are built was acquired by Jane Trower, the daughter of Walter Trower, Bishop of Gibraltar, for £1050.

So her father became party to the Deed of Gift and refunded the money back to her.

[1] In 1865, Webster Paulson was commissioned as a contractor in the construction of the church,[2] which was built to designs of Gordon MacDonald Hills (1826-1895).

It was consecrated on April 23, 1867 by Bishop Walter Trower of Gibraltar.
