Origins
The land upon which the church and the adjacent Bishop's house are build was acquired by Jane Trower, the daughter of Walter Trower Bishop of Gibraltar for £1050. She intended to donate the property to the Diocese of Europe but the law did not permit an unmarried woman to make a donation exceeding £50. So her father became party to the Deed of Gift and refunded the money back to her. The church architecture is not common in Malta. The church was built to resemble an English village church. It was completed in 1844 and opened to the public. It was consecrated in 1867.
Bishop's House
The building adjacent to the church is known as the Bishop's House. It was built in 1855 as a residence for the vicar. Today the house still serves the same purpose.
