St Batholomew's Anglican Church , Dinard, France

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.

William Faber gave land in Dinard, France, for an Anglican church to be built in memory of his mother and building began in 1869. The church was completed in 1870. Between 1871 and June 1940 there was a resident chaplain ministering to the British and Americans in Dinard. In 1926 the Association of the Anglican Church of Dinard was formed to maintain and improve the church and to ensure Church of England services were held there. After the Second World War the British-American community dwindled and it was no longer possible to maintain a full time chaplain.
