GB 0074 CLC/413 1964 Collection 1 envelope. Warsaw Anglican Chaplaincy

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.

In 1816 the British and Foreign Bible Society first began to preach in Warsaw. Their activities were interrupted by a Russian invasion and it was not until 1875 that an Anglican mission returned to the city. Between 1925 and 1927 the mission constructed a church, Emmanuel Chapel. However, the chapel was badly damaged by bombing during the Second World War and the building was demolished. After the war the church attempted to reclaim the site of the chapel but the government refused to recognise their claim. In 1995 the British Embassy set up a chaplaincy at the British School; and in 1996 the Polish Republic recognised the church and offered them use of a chapel.
