3. St George's Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 78 reviews
St George's is one of the most magnificent 18th-century church in Dorset. It rises from the rocky and dramatic peninsula of Portland and is the masterwork of a local mason named Thomas Gilbert whose grandfather supplied the Portland stone used to build St Paul's Cathedral. The interior is fabulously preserved with its lectern, pulpit, box pews and galleries all surviving. The sprawling churchyard is a treasure trove of fabulous headstones and memorials that tell tales of murder, piracy and adventure in a gloriously atmospheric setting.

Went up to St. George’s church with my jack Russell denzal, always have a wander around the grave yard looking at the headstones it’s so interesting!!! The church is awsum if you haven’t been before it’s one of the many Jewell’s of Portland there was a guide on when we visited John and he welcomed me and denzal in which was great there’s so many places don’t allow your dog in.. even had a ring of the bell!! Even if there isn’t a guide the doors open on a automatic timer around 10 I believe until 16.30hrs the door is stiff and you will need to gently nudge it... the church has recently had new gates put onto the entrance compliments of Tesco portland its a wonderful church with lots of history looked after by a fabulous church charity well worth a visit guys
