St Apolline's
Chapel La Grande Rue, St Saviour |
| |
St Apolline's Chapel was the
first designated ancient historic monument on Guernsey.
Dating from 1392, the small chapel was built by Nicholas Henry
near his manor of La Perelle and dedicated to St Apolline
(the patron saint of dentists). Originally the chapel was
painted and a substantial portion of the 14th century work,
depicting the Last Supper, has survived on the south wall.
It was restored in 1972 - 78 and is now open to the public.
Open daily.

Little
Chapel Les Vauxbelets, St Andrew |

Probably
the smallest chapel in the world, this unique building was the
life work of Brother Déodat, a member of The Brothers of the
Christian Schools, who ran the College here. After World
War II Brother Cephas completed the chapel in his place and
decorated the interior and exterior with a combination of shells,
pebbles, glass and broken china until his retirement in 1965.
