St Brelade's Church, overlooking the golden sweep of St Brelade's Bay, is widely considered to be one of the most picturesque places of worship on the island. 

The nave and chancel of the ancient church date from Norman times.   Beside the church stands Fisherman's Chapel, thought to have been built in the 12th century.  The walls of the chapel are adorned with fine murals dating from the 14th and 15th centuries. 

The plain white rectilinear exterior of St Matthew's Church gives no clue to its stunning interior.  Known as Glass Church, St Matthew's has amazing Art Deco glass fixtures and fittings, designed by René Lalique in 1934.

The panels, altar cross, altar rail, font and beautiful Art Deco angels were created using milky opaque glass.  Lalique (1860 - 1945) is best known for his glasswork and elegant jewellery. 

In 1930s his neighbour in the South of France was Florence Boot, Lady Trent, widow  of Jesse Boot, founder of Boot's the Chemist. In 1932 she commissioned Lalique to refurbish the interior of the church as a tribute to her husband's life.  The magnificent result is considered to be one of Lalique's finest works.  The oak pews, pulpit and lecturn, were created by Jersey architect A B Grayson.

St Saviour's Church is closely associated with Lillie Langtry, one of Jersey's most controversial icons. 

The famous actress, mistress of the future Edward VII and later Prince Louis of Batternburg, was born Emilie Charlotte le Breton in the Rectory in 1853.  Known affectionately as the Jersey Lilly, she was twice married at St Saviour's Church.  Lillie Langtry died in Monaco in 1929 but at her own request she was buried in St Saviour's churchyard.
