Jersey Churches
Parish Churches
After the collapse of the Roman Empire, came the Dark Ages. It is known that St Magloire went to Sark in 550AD and from there friars were dispatched to the other Channel Islands. St Helier arrived in Jersey at around the same time but was murdered in 556.
A visit to Jersey must include visits to the various parish Church buildings. Some date back to the 11th and 12th centuries. It is likely that many of these were originally sites of pagan worship.

St John's |
St. John is a rural parish in the north of the island with a population of 2,500. Although geographically close to France, the Deanery of Jersey has been part of the Diocese of Winchester, in the Church of England, since its transfer from the Diocese of Coutances in 1499.
The oldest parts of the building date from 1050AD but St John's proves that the Church is alive and active.
