A chapel in Gibraltar where the Kings church (British: King's Chapel) is an overseas territory of the U.K. This is located at the south end of the main street and is next to the can Vento that is the official residence of Governor-General of Gibraltar. The building becoming the Kings church is the first church built from the first as a church now in Gibraltar. Originally it was built as some monasteries of the Francisco society in the 1530s, but it was the thing of the English national church since the U.K. occupied Gibraltar in 1704. I suffered big damage in a Gibraltar siege war of the late 18th century and the explosion accident of the ammunition carrier in the port of Gibraltar of 1951, but was restored all. During from 1844 to 1990, I have been considered to be a main church of the British army of Gibraltar here. Here has been used by all the British whole army afterwards.

History
When Castilia kingdom snatched Gibraltar from a Moor in 1462, gelongs of the Francisco society settled in the town and built a monastery and a church. Two churches (cent Mary the crowns church and Virgin Mary church) had already existed, but they were built formerly as a mosque, and a Spaniard converted it into a heritage. Thus, in the church of the Francisco society adjacent aside immediately of the monastery, it was the first example built from the first as a church in Gibraltar [1].
In 1704, the Allied Forces of the British orchid occupied Gibraltar in the middle of succession war in Spain. I requisitioned a monastery known as the perception Vento now, and the British governor-general who took up the new post newly did it with own official residence [2]. (and used now as the official residence of governor-general.) The church of the Francisco society fell into the hands of the English national church and changed "Kings church" and the name [2]. Francis Carter writes it as follows in 1771. As for "[3] that it is opened for worship alone in a town in the church of the perception Vento, and other churches and bethel are converted into the warehouse by the strong antipathy to a Spaniard and the inconvenience of Protestant and others." baptismal record, as for the record of the marriage, the record of the burial begins from 1780 from 1771 from 1769, but it is in 1794, and what is recorded marriage frequently is after [4].
The church was awfully damaged in Gibraltar siege war (1779–83). As well as other bake bricks of the town and a stone building, this church was commandeered by the military to protect a soldier and supplies. The bombardment of the Spanish military brought the town extensive destruction. This church did not avoid damage, too, and a west edge and south corridor wings were destroyed by the bombardment of the enemy. When a siege war is over, they were restored, but are different from the original form. The west edge of the church and the south corridor wings were taken in as a part of the official residence of governor-general. The former became the ballroom of the governor-general and the music room, and the latter became the main stair hall of the official residence. Today's church consists only of the eastern half of the church of the material [5]. The nave which became short extended to 19 meters ahead more from the current edge [6]. The church loses the bell tower before bombardment begins. I was demolished in September, 1779 to prevent what was aimed for by the bombardment hand of the Spanish military [7]. The state is written down in the diary of September 19, 1779 of a certain resident in this way. Of "the cupola of white perception Vento is demolished in the same way governor-general it was in 1995, and [8] that an arch and the upper part of the church were demolished." church bell was finally returned [7].
From a record of 1788 of the garrison, the church seemed to have already reopened by the year. Subordinate of governor-general and him and other citizens worshiped here on every Sunday and a military band put it together in a song and played it. In the church, they performed an outdoor parade now at John Macintosh square and the place where it was to accommodate other soldiers of the garrison because they were too small [9]. In the church, it was a too small thing to accommodate the Anglican Church believers whom Gibraltar continued increasing to in the 1820s. I write down Andrew ビギロウ which worked in this garrison as follows in 1827 after having done this building with "extremely common meeting facilities".
A wall and the simplicity of the equipment are combined with the fewness of the believer who usually gathers here and let you doubt the piety of Protestant and others according to the Catholic people that a superstition is deep very much. A church does not have the bell, and the tone of a drum and the flute which an orchestra placed in the market (John Macintosh square) is famous for tells it about time for worship [10].
It was replaced by the general use for a Chinese holly trinity church completed in 1832, and the Kings church became the chapel for exclusive use of the governor-general in spite of being a short term [11]. The order of closing Kings church from London arrived in 1833, and an exclamation was finished in this in Gibraltar. However, it was told that believers must pay temple of Confucius seat charges (pew rent) to serve the Catholic priest with the armed forces of daily allowance 5 shillings. It was clear that they were not able to agree to this, and the church was closed by an order street [12].
A royal military engineer corps () restored the church for 340 pounds of 3 shillings 3 penny in 1844 and came back to life and was offered as supporting worship ground of the Gibraltar citizen. A person concerned with too many militaries came to use the Chinese holly trinity church, and the place that accommodated a citizen was not enough now [13]. The aide military affairs secretary at the time (Assistant Military Secretary) writes down the situation at the time in a letter of March 8, 1844 in this way.
When the governor-general took up the new post, a chapel of the perception Vento was left and was deserted dimly and noticed that I came to be gloomy, and to be disagreeable for a resident. Because a Chinese holly trinity church became full with people concerned with military for the governor-general, the bishop and the suffragan appealed that the Protestant and others of the citizen whom there was no room who entered were forced to great inconvenience. That is why the governor-general restored a chapel after demanding permission from the own country, and having got the consent and threw it open as assistance of the Chinese holly trinity church which was the only bethel of the garrison [13].
The Kings church was changed the name from to queens church in the reign of the Queen Victoria, but it was gone back up and was not changed the name to the original name after the death of the Queen when Elizabeth II inherited the throne in 1952 either [14]. A plan to change its name in "St. Francis garrison church" (The Garrison Church of St. Francis) in 1944 was given a little, but was not adopted [6].
In the Kings church, restoration construction was carried out by aid of the vicereine at the time in 1877, and new stained glass was attached [13]. An organ was attached to the northwest corner of the church in 1887, but this was controversial. The Catholic priests hoped for the setting to the opposite corner, but I was rejected () on John ray day by the governor-general [15]. It was recognized that it needed urgent repair for a roof, and it was fixed at the next year to move the management representative of the church to the Department of the Army () to push forward construction [16].
Although I received bombing in September, 1940, in the Chinese holly trinity church, the Kings church survived 2 degrees World War unhurt. However, it was awfully damaged in an explosion accident of RFA Bedenham in the port of Gibraltar of April 27, 1951. This ammunition carrier exploded during discharge in a cancer wharf (current queen way key marina ), and it was destroyed. 13 people were sacrificed in this accident, and the whole town suffered big damage, too [17]. In the Kings church, the roof of the nave and all stained glass were broken [7].
Restoration
The church was restored, and, as a result, new stained glass was attached in 1952. The thing of north corridor wings describes Christ who wore a halo among archangel Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel, Mikhail in the thing of the east wall in George VI. In addition, there is an illustration of crucifixion in the bottom, and St. Bernard who is the Virgin Mary and a patron saint of Gibraltar is described in both sides. Worshipers of the British army, monks of the Francisco society, Gibraltar occupation, St. George in 1704, a British national emblem, a crest of the U.K. army are described in other panels of the stained glass [7]. In this church, there are many articles in memory of a person concerned with British troops, and there are a grave and memorial articles of the governors-general and the wife again, too [14].
The whole army of the army, the navy, the air force uses the Kings church now. In the army, in the navy, the air force used the separate churches of Gibraltar for the condition called the sun Michael church before a Chinese holly trinity church Kings church. This unification got help of private clergymen in 1990 and completed it in order to manage worship of the whole army because a naval Catholic priest was located in the Kings church. The Roman Catholic uses Kings church by worship regularly, too. It is opened to the public routinely here [18].
