See The Sistine Chapel
On a residential street in Goring-by-Sea near the seaside town of Worthing you'll find an unassuming local church with a stunning secret in its roof. If you want to see the world famous ceiling of the Sistine Chapel without taking a trip to Vatican City in Rome - this is the place to come!
Look up as you go through the doors of the English Martyrs Catholic Church to see the only known reproduction in the world of the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Michelangelo painted the original in around 1500. This one was created by local parishioner Gary Bevans after a trip to Rome in 1987 and it's simply stunning. english-martyrs.co.uk
Discover A Shell Church
The "Little Chapel" as it's known perches in the Vauxbelets valley on Guernsey in the Channel Islands. Whatever your age it's impossible not to be mesmerised by this hidden treasure which is one of the smallest chapels in the world. Built by Brother Deodat who arrived on Guernsey in 1913, to resemble the Notre Dame Grotto at Lourdes in France, it glitters in the sunlight as it's decorated inside and out with tiny shells, colourful bits of broken china and pretty pebbles. Tiny inside - just 16 feet by 9 feet - it's open daily in summer. visitguernsey.com/experiences/activities/the-little-chapel/
