CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
The Bishop of London was held to exercise responsibility for Anglican churches overseas where no other bishop had been appointed. He retained responsibility for churches in northern and central Europe until 1980, but his jurisdiction in southern Europe ceased in 1842 on the creation of the diocese of Gibraltar. In 1980, the Bishop of London divested himself of all overseas jurisdiction and a new diocese of 'Gibraltar in Europe' was established.
In the late 1860s, a Commonwealth and Continental Church Society chaplain was conducting services in a chapel attached to a private house. All Saints church, Bordighera, Italy, was consecrated in November 1883. The burial ground was consecrated in 1885-6.
