The Church of Saint Andrew, (Rue d'Angleterre 50, Socco, Tangier, Morocco) is an Anglican church consecrated in 1905.[1] [edit] HistoryIn 1880, Hassan I of Morocco donated land to the British community in order to build a small Anglican church in Tangier. After a church was built, it was found that it was not sufficient for the increasing number of worshippers, and a new one was built in 1894 which became the Church of Saint Andrew. It was consecrated in 1905.[2] The interior is designed as a fusion of numerous styles, notably Moorish. The belltower, shaped like a minaret, overlooks the adjacent cemetery. Among the people buried in the church there is Emily Keene (1849 - 1944), the woman who allegedly introduced the cholera vaccine to Morocco. She was a British humanitarian who married the Shareef of Wazan, a local religious leader. She died in Tangier and there is a plaque in the western side of the church to commemorate her. Others include Sir Harry McLean (1848 - 1920), Paul Lund (1915 - 1966) and Walter Harris, (1866 - 1933), a British writer. [edit] References
