This is an iconic building that was established in 1869. For me, this is one of the best things I have seen in Marina, Lagos that always catches my attention.

An amazing church with an intriguing Neo-Gothic building that was designed by Joshua Be (a) gandoj (g) i Benjamin, son of Joshua Blackall Benjamin, Proprietor of the Lagos Observer newspaper and a historic family from Olowogbowo. J. B. Benjamin was Saro by ancestry and was a civil engineer who was chosen by the church building committee to design the magnificent edifice that’s standing till date.

The foundation stone laying ceremony was performed by the Prince of Wales, in April of 1925 and the structure was completed about 1946/1947.

The floor of the Lady Chapel was designed by Herbert Macaulay, C. E. of Kirsten Hall, Balbina Street alias Wizard of Kirsten Hall.

Historically, the church was affiliated with the Church Missionary Society which later changed into the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion as we have it today.

Historic events like General Yakubu u0026 Victoria Gowon’s wedding ceremony, Remembrance Day Ceremony before it was changed to January 15, ordinations u0026c have occurred throughout time in this magnificent edifice.

Basically , this church has been in existence for so long and it gets renovated everytime in order for it to still look good ... It’s very close to Cms garage and also very close to the popular Lagos island market

From Broad Street or Marina Road, this Anglican Church cannot be missed. For it's sake, you would want to attend church service or feel like going inside to take a look. I haven't gone inside yet, but I have passed it a thousand times. Recently, I decided I was going to say something about it. With decades of existence and a design that is second to none in Nigerian church architecture, it is indeed a sight to see. It's probably the most prominent or popular feature on CMS bus stop after CSS Bookshop.
