St Pierre du Bois

Story

Parish church dates to AD 1030 when placed under patronage of Benedictine monks of Mont St Michel by Robert Duke of Normandy. Centre for the Guernsey Western Parishes. Services conducted in French until 1927. Guernesiais nickname for residents: etcherbaots (beetles).

The Constables of St Pierre du Bois administers the southwest Guernsey parish of St Pierre du Bois (St Peter in the Wood), covering 6.2 km² with a population of ~2,090 across ~788 households. Governed by two elected Constables and a Douzaine of 12 Douzeniers across four cantons, the parish delivers refuse collection, cemetery administration, road hedge supervision, parish rate collection, dog licences, bornement permits, and community hall hire. Notable landmarks include Rocquaine Bay, Lihou Island, Fort Grey (Martello tower), La Longue Rocque megalith, and the 14th-century St Peter's Church.
