About us
Jersey is the largest Island of the Channel Islands. Jersey is 9 miles (14.5km) wide by 5 miles (8km) long and is made up of 12 parishes.
The Island is just 14 miles (or 22km) from the French coast and 85 miles (137km) south of the English coast.
English is the main language spoken. Other languages include Portuguese, Polish and Jèrriais (the Jersey language).
The currency is the British pound sterling, although Jersey does print its own notes.
Jersey is made up of 12 administrative districts called parishes. All have access to the coast and share a name with their parish churches. Each parish looks after their parishioners and manages the local amenities. They are the focal point of the community and each one is different.
The Royal Court keeps a close watch on parish affairs. Parish officials are sworn in by the court. Twice a year the Court pays an official visit to a parish, known as a Visite Royale. The use of ancient customs is still recognised in legislation today.
