Chapel of St Apolline, Guernsey

The Chapel of St Apolline, La Grande Rue, Saint Saviour, Guernsey is a protected building[1] and historic monument.

Nicholas Henry, who lived in nearby La Perelle manor, constructed the chantry chapel in 1392 and dedicated it to Saint Apolline.

[4]: 25 A number of objects were probably hidden or taken at this time, some of which have since been recovered including a 14th-century stone figurine, 16th century cross, a silver burette for holding wine or water, two candlesticks and a bell clapper.

[4]: 26 The chapel appears on the 1787 Duke of Richmond’s map of Guernsey by William Gardner on a plot of three Vergée (around 1.2 acres) planted with an apple orchard.

[4] With 8.2m x 4.2m interior dimensions, there is seating for 14 inside the Chapel which comprises a single room with a pointed vaulted roof.

There is a stained glass window in the north wall of the chapel depicting Sainte Apolline and an angel holding a tooth.
