France - Beuzeville, Église Saint-Hélier

The original building of the Église Saint-Hélier (St. Hélier Church) in Beuzeville dates back to the 12th century. The church has a nave with two aisles and a choir with side chapels. It was once surrounded by a cemetery. The church is dedicated to Saint Helier (a 6th-century monk from Belgium, who became a hermit in Jersey and gave his name to the island's main town).

The building, which was modified in the 16th and 18th centuries, has elegant windows, balustrades and buttresses, as well as rare Norman-style half-timbering on the east side. The bell tower houses three bells, the oldest of which was consecrated in 1779.

St. Hélier Church is well known for its nineteen colourful stained-glass windows, depicting saints. These windows were designed by François Décorchemont, a master glassblower from nearby Conches. The windows were made between 1960 and 1966.
