When the Bahamas was granted to the Lords Proprietors of Carolina by the English Crown in 1670 one of the conditions was the establishment of the Anglican church on the islands. The first Christ Church was built in Nassau between 1670 and 1684 to act as the Parish church of the colony. This wooden structure and its successor were destroyed by the Spanish and a third wooden building was demolished to make way in 1754 for a stone built structure. This in turn was enlarged to become the present building in 1841. In 1729, with the arrival of Woodes Rogers, the first Royal Governor, the Bahamian church was established by law and came under the episcopal jurisdiction of the Bishop of London. In 1768 a second parish of St John's was created to serve Harbour Island and Eleuthera. When the Diocese of Jamaica was created in 1824, the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands were incorporated into that diocese, becoming in 1844 a separate Archdeaconry. On 4 November 1861 the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands became a diocese in their own right as the Diocese of Nassau, the township of Nassau was proclaimed a city and Christ Church made the diocesan cathedral. The Anglican church was disestablished in 1869.
