Fishermen's Chapel, Medieval chapel in St Brelade's Bay, Jersey

The Fishermen's Chapel is a medieval structure located beside St Brelade's Church at the western end of St Brelade's Bay. The building underwent restoration work in the 1980s, during which the original medieval floor level was reconstructed to its historical height.

This chapel was built in medieval times and survived the widespread destruction of religious buildings during the 16th century Reformation. Its survival demonstrates how some local sanctuaries remained standing despite religious upheaval.

The interior walls display medieval paintings showing biblical scenes that were rediscovered after storm damage in 1918. These artworks reveal how worshippers expressed their faith and what religious art meant to the community at that time.

The chapel stands beside St Brelade's Church at the western end of St Brelade's Bay, reached on foot along the shore. The 1980s restoration brought the floor back down to its medieval level, so the proportions seen in early photographs no longer apply. The space is small, and the wall paintings sit close to eye level on the ceiling and upper walls.

The builders used crushed limpet shells dissolved in boiling seawater, the same technique employed for the neighboring parish church. This ancient method shows how coastal craftsmen adapted local materials for construction.
