Read More	The English Cemetery in Las Palmas was solemnly rehallowed on Frida, March 2, 2012, following a restoration undertaken and generously financed by the Canary Island Government, a work which cost a total of €91,000. The site was declared part of the cultural and historical patrimony of the island in 2010 as it is a focus of the history of the British families who since the early 19th century were key figures in Gran Canaria, in many cases contributing significantly to its economic development. It is not only the British who were buried here. There are a large number of graves of people from all over the world, signifying what a cross-roads the Canary Islands once were, due to intercontinental shipping lanes, with graves of missionaries, seamen, entrepreneurs, from Africa, Scandinavia, Asia and America. The cemetery is still in active use today. The Canary Island Government spent €91,000 to restoration of the historic British Cemetery in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The cemetery dates back to 1835 and predates our Church building. It is considered to be an important historic site on the island, bearing witness to the importance of Las Palmas as a busy port on the shipping lanes between the UK and Africa. Holy Trinity Church itself was not founded until 1887. It was originally a parish in the Diocese of Sierra Leone.
