The Wickham Terrace land was granted to the Anglican Church in 1856, although the first deed of grant was dated September 1865, and was originally intended as the site for an Anglican Cathedral. The Diocese of Brisbane was formed in 1859 with Edward Tufnell as the first Bishop of Brisbane, taking office in 1860, and designating St Johns as the pro-Cathedral.
