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.

The group of English merchants known as the British Factory appears to have come into existence in Lisbon in 1654 when the first chaplain was appointed. A temporary chapel was opened in 1815 and a permanent church in 1822 devoted to Saint George the Martyr. The church has been rebuilt several times since that date.

The records have been deposited in the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library at various dates. They have been catalogued by various members of staff since 1960. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
