Historique
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.
Anglican services began in Lyon in 1843, and a permanent chaplain was appointed in 1853. Holy Trinity was consecrated in 1873, but was sold in 1969. Services moved to various locations before settling in a chapel in the Convent de l'Adoration Réparatrice.
NB - Lyons is an anglicization of the French Lyon.
