“The Parish Church is beautifully situated on the crest of a hill overlooking the Atlantic. Down the slope from the church, towards the golden sands, is one of the finest dune areas in Europe, Les Mielles, and the largest freshwater lake in the Channel Islands, La Mare au Seigneur. This is an area where wildlife, stunning views and glorious sunsets are abundant. The church, with its rugged granite buttresses weathered by Atlantic storms, can be clearly seen from most parts of this picturesque setting of St.Ouen’s Bay.”

St. George’s Church

St. George’s Church, La Rue des Cosnets, St. Ouen, Jersey JE3 2BW

St. George’s Church is located in the north-west side of the Parish of St. Ouen, next door to Les Landes Primary School. St. George’s Church is situated on the corner of Rue des Cosnets and Rue du Nord. On Sundays, there is a convenient car park, with ample parking spaces, in Les Landes School playground.

St. George’s Church is a beautiful building, with a flurry of cherry blossoms flanking both sides in Spring. The interior has a traditional feel to it and is most famous for its Carols by Candlelight service which takes place in the run up to Christmas every year. St. Georges is the daughter church of The Parish Church of St. Ouen. It’s original purpose, was to be built for the convenience of the inhabitants residing at a distance from the Parish Church. Today it’s purpose is to be a Mission Church to the surrounding community it serves, and the wider parish. St. George’s Church was first licensed as a consecrated place of worship in 1880. Though, the building as we see it today, with its nave and tower, was not completed until 1918.
