[edit] History
In 1880, Hassan I of Morocco donated a terrain in order to build a small Anglican church in Tangier. After a church was built, it was found that was not sufficient for the increasing number of worshippers. A new foundation was built in 1894 which became the Church of Saint Andrew.
[edit] Trivia
Among the people buried in the church there is Emily Kean, the first woman to introduce vaccination to Morocco.
