Details
The Parish Church of St Helier, also known as the Town Church, is an Anglican church located in St Helier, Jersey. It is one of the twelve 'Ancient Parish Churches' of the island and serves as Jersey's civic church and Pro-Cathedral. This means it is the seat of the Bishop of Winchester in the Channel Islands and hosts major civic services, partly due to its proximity to the Royal Square, where the island's judiciary and legislature are based.
The current church building primarily dates from the 11th century, though it has undergone significant extensions and renovations, particularly after 1820 and more recently in 2007. Originally situated on the shore before land reclamation, the church has historical significance, including being a place of worship for the future Charles II and James II during the English Civil War. Today, it welcomes people from all over the island and offers a variety of services and community events.
