St George's Anglican Church , Knocke-Zoute, Belgium

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.

Knokke is a seaside resort in Belgium. It was a popular tourist destination in the nineteenth century, although the expatriate community has dwindled since the Second World War. The church of Saint George was constructed in 1911, and altered in 1928. Many records were lost during the Second World War.
