Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On the Marina shoreline in Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria, the Rev. Henry Townsend of the Church Missionary Society set the cornerstone for the first storey building in that country in 1842. Other missionaries continued to build it in 1845. Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the first African C.M.S. bishop to translate the Holy Bible from English to Yoruba, later utilized the vicarage for Saint Thomas Anglican Church. The English and Yoruba translations of the bible by Ajayi Crowther were housed in a glass case in one of the two rooms on the upper floor of the structure.
