Information

St. Mary's Church stands in Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, the sole settlement of the island of Tristan da Cunha, the southernmost inhabited isle of the territory, St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha.

This is an Anglican church, and like the churches of St Helena and Ascension Island it is within the Anglican Church of Southern Africa: Tristan however is no longer within the Diocese of St Helena but directly under the Bishop of Cape Town.

This one of the two churches on the island, the other being a Roman Catholic church, St Joseph's.

St Mary's was built in 1923, under the direction of the Rev Martin Rogers and it was opened in July of that year. The church is built in the plain, local style, using volcanic tuff and wood salvaged from shipwrecks. It is topped with a corrugated steel roof. A garden was plated about the church too, with hydrangeas, protected from the wild Atlantic winds with a wall of volcanic stone.

In 1990 the church was renovated and extended.[1]
