St. George's Church, Lisbon

St George's Church is the only English-speaking Anglican congregation in Lisbon, Portugal. It is at Rua São Jorge 6, north of the Estrela Garden.
==History==
In 1654 a treaty between Oliver Cromwell and John IV of Portugal (signed on his behalf by João Rodrigues de Sá e Menezes, Count of Penaguião) allowed English residents in Portugal to ''"profess their own Religion in private houses... and that finally a Place be allowed for them to bury their dead"''. A chaplaincy was established, with services held in the home of the British Envoy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of St George’s Church )〕 Notable burials in the cemetery include the tomb of the writer Henry Fielding (1707–54).
Anglicans in Portugal petitioned for permission to build a church, but until the early 19th century the Portuguese Inquisition prevailed on the monarch not to grant it. A church of St George the Martyr was built in the cemetery in 1882 but burnt down in 1886. The present church was designed by the London-based architects John Medland and Charles Edward Powell and consecrated in 1889.〔 It is a Romanesque Revival building with a narthex, blind arcades and rose window on its west front.
The cemetery includes 31 Commonwealth War Graves: five from the First World War and 26 from the Second. 29 are in individual plots; two are in private family vaults. They include members of the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, Merchant Navy and British Overseas Airways Corporation.
