Other Anglican Churches

Holy Trinity was built in 1789 and originally known as La Chapelle de la Trinite and its foundation is probably connected with the visit of John Wesley two years earlier. One of four Parish churches in St Peter Port, it was built at a cost of £2,990 by a group of townsmen.  Alterations were made in 1830. However with a dwindling congregation, it was later sold to the Anglican Diocese on 15th June 1846.  The Church community hall was erected in nearby Park Street in 1889.

St Matthew's Church Cobo

St Matthew's Parish Church is the smaller of the parish churches in the Castel. Built in 1854 following representations from a young girl Marianne Carey who was concerned that the three miles to the Castel Parish church was too far for the fishermen of the area to walk. It is built in the style of a fisherman's church. See their website at www.guernsey.net/~st-Matthews
