The Pea Stacks
Off Jerbourg Point in St Martins there are a set of rocks known as the 'Pea Stacks'. Up until very recent times fishermen would doff their hats to 'Androu' - part of the rock is uncannily statuesque and human like so that it resembles a monk. Mc Culloch writes:
"The Pea stacks are four large rocks one of which, from the seaward side resembles a cowelled monk known as " Le Petit Bon-Homme Andriou."
The children in the neighbourhood used to have a rhymed saying :"Andriou, tape tout," which may be translated "Andriou, watch over all"
