St Matthew's Church

St Matthew's Church is an Anglican place of worship in Millbrook featuring extensive glass artwork throughout its interior. A large cross adorned with lilies rises above the altar, while glass elements are incorporated into many parts of the building's design.

The building was established in 1840 as a chapel serving the local area and only later developed into a full church. It underwent major reconstruction in 1934 when a private benefactor commissioned extensive renovations to transform its appearance.

The church is named after the apostle Matthew and serves as a spiritual gathering point for residents of Saint Lawrence. It stands as a space where the local community comes together to maintain their faith and connection to the island.

The church is most welcoming during regular worship times, when visitors can experience the space alongside the local congregation. It is located in Millbrook and can be easily accessed by following local paths through the neighborhood.

The building holds the only complete collection of heavy clouded glass creations by a renowned designer, including crystalline angel figures throughout the space. The baptismal font itself is entirely made of glass, making it a rare surviving example of this artform.
