Parishes of Guernsey

Lihou falls within the area of St Pierre du Bois.[5] Each parish is administered by a council called a Douzaine, made up of Douzeniers who serve four-year terms.Each year in November, one quarter of the Douzeniers are elected by parishioners at a parish meeting.[7] Two elected Constables (French: Connétables) carry out the decisions of the Douzaine, serving for between one and three years.[6] Inhabitants of each of the parishes of Guernsey also have traditional nicknames, although these have generally dropped out of use among the English-speaking population.
