Fishermen's Chapel
St Brelade's Bay 30 min Verified 2026-06
Tiny medieval chapel beside St Brelade's Parish Church with rare surviving wall paintings.
The story
Built in the 12th century and tucked alongside St Brelade's Parish Church, the Fishermen's Chapel preserves a remarkable cycle of medieval wall paintings — biblical scenes that survived the Reformation thanks to a coat of whitewash. Restored in the 1970s, the frescoes glow softly in the chapel's quiet granite interior.
What to expect
Among the best-preserved medieval church paintings in the British Isles, hiding in plain sight on a bay-front churchyard.
Good to know
Free to enter when the door is open; donations welcomed. Combine with a walk on St Brelade's Bay.

I walked along St.Brelade promenade and through the gardens to the small Fisherman's Chapel. You can walk along the beach or a short distance on the road. The Chapel was built in the 11- 12th century although some claim even earlier. The mediaeval paintings are breathtaking. This is a must see attraction.

This is a small and very bare (other than the walls) chapel adjacent to St. Brelades Church. Whilst a lot of the walls are whitewashed and bare, there are some inscriptions and artwork inside that are quite unique. The chapel avoided damage by reformers and it is reputed some of the walls might date to the 6th Century.
