Template:The church in Jersey/Parish churches

The foundation of the Church in Jersey was the 12 parish churches, all thought to have been built around the 11th and 12th centuries.

For many centuries these churches were the hub of parish life and had great influence in the island.

Even after Jersey split from Normandy the Church continued to be responsible to the Bishop of Coutances for many years.

The Rectors represented their parishes in the States alongside the Contables until 1948
