History
The Church of St John the Evangelist was first built on land owned by the British Crown in 1906 as the first Protestant and Anglican church in Morocco. During the Second World War, American soldiers would attend services. General George Patten was one of them and gave the church it's pulpit as a commemoration of all who had died during the conflict in Morocco. When he died, his family presented a new communion table to the church with a carved front.
