Kelly's
Directory of Dorsetshire 1895 Transcribed for the OPC Project by Bob Stone Portland is a small island, or, more properly speaking peninsula, in the English Channel, united to the mainland by the long range of chessel or shingle called Chesil Bank, 4½ miles south from Weymouth and 147½ miles from London, and is 2° 20¢ west from the meridian of Greenwich, and in 50° 30¢ north latitude, in the Southern division of the county, petty sessional division of Dorchester, Weymouth union and county court district, Dorchester rural deanery (Weymouth portion), Dorset archdeaconry and Salisbury diocese. The island is 4½ miles in length, 1¾ in width and 9 in circumference, and the boundary is formed by a ridge of lofty rocks, inaccessible on all sides, except towards the south, where the land slopes away to the shore; the highest ground is 496 feet above the sea. It contains several villages or hamlets, viz.: - Chesil, Fortune's Well, Castletown, Easton, Reforne, Wakeham, Straits, Weston, Southwell, Grove and Verne. The "Local Government Act, 1858" (21 and 22 Vict. C98) was adopted April, 1867, and the island was governed by a Local Board of Health until the "Local Government Act," 1894," established the present Urban District Council. The whole of the upper part of the island is a complete bed of stone, which was first brought into use in the reign of James I. St Paul's Cathedral and many of our public buildings have been built with it; at present 70,000 tons are shipped yearly from the quarries; the stone is quarried in blocks from two to fourteen tons each, which are conveyed to the ships by means of a railway: the whole stratum rests upon a bed of bluish clay; in the quarries are found many petrified shells and fossils. There are many curiosities in the island, amongst which may be seen a fine specimen of a fossil tree; it is 20 feet in height, with two branches in the form of the letter V. The fossil remains of a wild boar have been discovered. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in the quarries and fishing, and are a hardy race of people. The soil is shallow but fruitful, and the sheep fed on the short grass produce the celebrated Portland mutton. A small and delicious bird, the wheatear, is found here in great numbers. The supply of water is plentiful. A
railway from Portland to Weymouth is used jointly by the Great Western
and the South-Western railways, Portland Castle, at the foot of the
loftiest part of the island, was erected by King Henry VIII, in 1520 as
a place of defence; from 1558 to 1646 it suffered many disasters, being
constantly taken and retaken by the King and the Parliament: in 1818 it was granted to the Rev. John Manning by the Duke
of York, and since the accession of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, the
Castle has been appropriated to the Commander of the Engineers stationed
here: the walls are in some
parts from 12 to 14 feet thick. The
island is a liberty of itself, in the Weymouth union.
The custom of gavelkind prevails here. A
pleasure fair is held on November 5th. A
fund is in existence here arising from a grant made by Charles II in
1665, by which a royalty of 9d.for every ton of stone quarried from all
parish or common-able land is payable for the use of the inhabitants,
and by subsequent grants a further sum of 6d.was charged on stone raised
from all Crown quarries, being for the Royal use; but this latter grant
was withdrawn in 1878. One
of the most prominent objects on this island is the Convict Prison, on
the top of the hill, in a locality called Grove, commanding a bold and
magnificent view of the Channel: the building is chiefly constructed of
wood and iron, so that it may be taken down and removed: it now contains about 900 convicts, who are chiefly employed
in the stone quarries in getting stone and loading wagons with the same,
for export. The
parish church of St. George, at Reforne, is a plain stone building,
erected in 1706, in the classic style, and consists of a deep chancel
with apse, nave, north and south transepts and western tower with cupola
containing one bell: a
handsome stained window was put in by Richard Lano, as a thank offering
in 1878: it is capable of seating 700 persons.
The register dates from the year 1766.
The living is a rectory, average tithe rent-charge £249, gross
yearly value £274, with residence, in the gift of the Bishop of Oxford,
and held since 1872 by the Rev. John Augustine Beazor, of St.
Augustine's College, Canterbury. The
lower church, St. John the Baptist, at Fortune's Well, was erected in
1839, and a district was assigned to it in 1840; it is a Gothic
structure of Portland stone, with chancel, nave, aisles and square
embattled western tower, containing 3 bells with a clock; there are 430
sittings. The register
dates from the 1839. The
living is a vicarage, gross yearly value £320 with 5 aires of land and
residence, in the gift of Hyndman's trustees, and held since 1874 by
the Rev. Thomas Alfred Ottley M.A. of St. Catharine's College,
Cambridge, and D.D. of Trinity College, Dublin. St.
Peters, an ecclesiastical parish, was formed in 1873; the church in The
Grove is a modern edifice of stone erected at a cost of £8,000, in the
Byzantine style of the 12th century, after the designs of Sir
Edmund Ducane, consisting of apsidal chancel, nave, transepts, western
porch, and a turret, containing one bell; the church is intended chiefly
for the officials of the military and prison establishments, and affords
about 550 sittings. The
living is a vicarage, net yearly value £160 in the gift of the
Directors of the Convict Prisons, and held since 1886 by the Rev. Josiah
Meigh, M.A. of St. Catharine's College, Cambridge. St
Andrew's Church, Southwell, opened July 3rd, 1879, as a
chapel of ease, was erected to commemorate the loss of the
"Avalanche", with all hands off this island, September 11th,
1877, by collision with the "Forest"; it is built of stone in the
Early English style, and consists of chancel, nave, baptistery, north
porch and western bell turret with 2 bells; it contains several stained
windows: there are 350 sittings. The
Catholic church, in The Grove, dedicated to Our Lady and St. Andrew, was
built in 1868: the Congregational, at Chesil, holds 350; there is a
Wesleyan chapel at Fortune's Well, to hold 600, and Chesil to hold
same number and one at Easton to seat 500, and Southwell to seat 80;
Primitive Methodist, at Fortune's Well to hold 340, and Weston to seat
80; and Bible Christian, at Maidenwell, to hold 250.
There is a Seamen's Mission and Reading Room at Castletown;
also a Soldiers' and Sailors' Institute, at Fortune's Well, with
divine service on Sunday nights, and various other meetings. Gas
Works were established at Chesil in 1856, by a company. The
Jubilee Hall, Easton, will hold 800, and is let to theatrical companies,
and also used for public meetings and entertainments. A
Dispensary was established in 1840, for the benefit of the labouring
population; her Majesty is the patroness; patients receive medicine at
their own homes. At
Straits there is a reading room. On
the east side of the island is Rufus or Bow and Arrow Castle, belonging
to and forming part of the grounds of Pennsylvania Castle, formerly the
property of the late Granville J. Penn esq. Of Stoke Park,
Buckinghamshire, but subsequently of his relative, Stewart Forbes, esq.;
it is now owned by J. Merrick Head esq. The castle is a handsome stone
edifice, built by the late John Penn esq. of Stokes Park, Bucks
(governor of the Isle of Portland), from designs by Mr. James Wyatt,
architect; it was commenced at the end of the last century and finished
in 1800; it is charmingly situated and commands magnificent views of the
Channel. The
island has ready access to Weymouth by rail and water, being within
three miles, with station at Chesil; steamers run four times daily
during the summer months, landing at the government pier at Castletown. There
are two lighthouses on the south of the island, one of which is built in
the form of a cone, the diameter at the base being 20 feet; from the
gallery is seen that dangerous sea called the Race, so named from the
tides meeting at this part of the island:
also the Shambles, the upper lighthouse was erected in 1817, and
rebuilt in 1867, when the lower one was also erected, both being on the
fixed principle, and worked with revolving lenses. The
design of a breakwater was first mooted by Mr. John Harvey, of Weymouth,
his attention being directed to this subject in the year 1794, but it
was not until 1847 that an Act was passed for the construction of the
breakwater in the Portland Roads, from the designs of Mr. James Meadow
Rendel, to form a harbour of refuge; the breakwater extends from the
north-east point of the island to a distance of 2¼ Miles
into the sea, and forms a roadstead 4 miles in extent, within which a
fleet of 200 sail can lie at anchor in complete safety, sheltered from
all winds in the Channel, and be ready for sea at a moment's notice,
in case of emergency; the breakwater is 1¾ miles long, 120 feet wide at
low water level and upwards of 300 feet at the base.
There is a small fortification at the land end, mounting a few
guns; and at the extremity a large circular fort, capable of mounting 21
heavy rifled guns. The
harbour of refuge thus formed is now almost entirely enclosed in this
stupendous seawall, covering an extent of no less than 2107 acres. When
the works in progress are completed, consisting of an extension of the
breakwater from the fort to Weymouth shore, about 1¾ miles long, the
harbour will be completely enclosed.
Near the breakwater is a hospital for patients from H.M. Navy,
known as the Royal Naval Sick Quarters. In
1894 a new hospital was built near the Naval drill ground, Castletown. To
protect the harbour and roadstead, extensive fortifications have been
erected on the top and sides of the hill called the "Verne", on the
northern side of the island; here a battery has been constructed and an
artificial ravine formed 100 feet wide and from 70 to 120 feet deep, to
prevent access to the Verne from the land side, and batteries command
this ravine; on the east side of the island (on the east weir) are other
batteries at different altitudes. Portland
is a Royal Manor and the land is mostly owned by small free holders. The population of Portland in 1891 was 9,443, including 757 in Verne Citadel barracks, 22 in the Royal Naval Hospital, 873 in the Convict Prison, 643 on H.M.S. "Boscawen" training ship for boys and 362 on H.M.S. "Alexandra". The area is 2,894 acres of land; rateable value, £20,359. The population of the ecclesiastical parishes in 1891 was: - St. George, 2,631, St. John the Baptist, 4,182, and St. Peter, 2,630. |
