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

The Fishermen's Chapel stands next to St Brelade's Church at the western end of St Brelade's Bay, featuring wall paintings and religious artwork.

This chapel remains one of the few medieval structures that survived the widespread destruction of religious buildings during the 16th century Reformation in Jersey.

The interior walls display medieval paintings depicting biblical scenes including the Annunciation, Resurrection, and Last Judgement, discovered after weather damage in 1918.

Visitors can access the chapel daily and observe the restored medieval floor level, which was reconstructed during renovations in the 1980s.

The construction method used crushed limpet shells dissolved in boiling seawater, matching the technique employed in building the adjacent Parish Church.
