Surrounded by moss-covered, centuries-old gravestones, this handsome Victorian-era church was designed by George Gilbert Scott, a prolific 19th-century architect responsible for the restoration of Westminster Abbey and St Pancras Station Hotel in London. The 'cathedral of the Channel Islands' is a misnomer; it's just a parish church, but an impressive one due to its size and design.
