St Matthew's Church, also known as the Glass Church, is an Anglican church in Millbrook, in the parish of Saint Lawrence, Jersey in the Channel Islands. Built in 1840, the church is known for its glass-work by René Lalique added later.
St Matthew's was built in 1840 as a chapel of ease. In 1934, Florence Boot, Lady Trent, the widow of Jesse Boot of Boots the Chemists, commissioned an extensive renovation of the church by architect A. B. Grayson and French glass designer René Lalique. According to BBC News, the church is noted as "the only remaining and complete example of ... Lalique's heavy, clouded glass."
