To complement this stamp issue, we are pleased to offer a set of five postcards, each featuring one of the parishes depicted in the collection. In addition, we have produced five matching MaxiCards, each bearing the corresponding stamp and the special First Day of Issue pictorial cancellation.

Guernsey’s ten historic parishes are among the island’s most enduring landmarks, their origins rooted in early centres of worship that shaped local identity for centuries. Though many parish churches have been rebuilt or extended over time, they have remained focal points of community life, giving their names—and their character—to the surrounding areas.

Even as the island has grown and modernised, parish identity remains strong. Traditions, seasonal events, and community ties continue to revolve around parish life, reflecting a living connection between Guernsey’s medieval heritage and its present-day spirit.

These MaxiCards capture the unique history and enduring local pride of the island’s parishes.
