history
English congregations abroad existed on mainland Europe even before the Reformation . They were placed under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of London in 1633 .
In 1842 the Church of England established the Diocese of Gibraltar for the European Mediterranean countries . For Central and Northern Europe, the Bishop of London appointed a suffragan bishop in 1883 with the title of Bishop of Fulham . Both jurisdictions have been administered jointly by a bishop since 1970. In 1980 they were combined under the current name.
