It was one of four churches started that year, including Anglican churches in St. Andrew and St. David. | The Protestants Anglican Church was the state church or Established Church in Grenada from 1763 (once the island was formally ceded to Britain through the Treaty of Paris) Then in October 1800 all Catholic Churches were appropriated by the Protestants for the use as Anglican Churches.
