St Matthew's Glass Church

Jersey


Unassuming and boxy from the outside, this church is well worth a look for the spectacular glasswork on the inside, done by French artist René Lalique in the 1930s. Lady Trent, the wife of the founder of Boots the Chemist, met Lalique in France and commissioned him to do the glass altar, font, cross and pillars.
