Kanisa hili lilijengwa na wamissionari wa kanisa la Anglikana katika barabara ya Mkunazini mwaka 1903. Uwanja uliojengewa kanisa ndipo shughuli nyingi za uuzaji wa watumwa zilipofanyika. Kujengwa kwa kanisa hili ilikua ni ishara au alama ya kukomeshwa kwa biashara ya utumwa.
Since the end of the 15th century, the Portuguese took control of Zanzibar for almost two centuries. In 1698, it became part of the Oman Sultanate after the Portuguese were expelled and the trade of slaves, ivory and spice plantations developed in the island. The trade of slaves was the main activity and it commercially linked Europeans (who used slaves for plantations in the Indian Ocean) with African rulers.
By the 19th century, the Zanzibar Sultanate stood out for being the main slave market in Eastern Africa due to its strategic location in the Indian Ocean. It is estimated that between 1830 and 1873, around 600,000 people were sold as merchandise and thousands of other people visited the place temporarily.
Slavery business in the city was run by Europeans, Indians, Arabs and local leaders until its abolition in 1873. Zanzibar was an important center in the campaign against slavery led by the Scottish explorer David Livingstone and other activists during the second half of the 19th century that ended with the abolition of slavery.
In 1861, the country separated from the Oman Sultanate and became part of the British Empire until 1963, when it became independent as the Republic of Zanzibar and Pemba. As a consequence of what is known as the Revolution of Zanzibar, there were thousands of dead and expelled people due to the ethnic tensions between Arab and African communities.
Three months after the Revolution, in April 1964, the country joined the neighboring Republic of Tanganika and created the current United Republic of Tanzania.
