PORTLfiD is a small island, or, more properly speaking peninsula, in the English Channel, ~nited to the mainland by the long range of chessel or shingle called Che-sil Bank, 4~ miles south from Weymouth and 147~ 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 4; miles in length, I! 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 gTound is 496 feet above the sea. It contains several villages or hamlets, viz. :-Ohesil, Fortune's Well, Castletown, Easton, Reforne, Wakeham, Straits, Weston, Southwell, Grove and Verne. The "Local Government Act, 1858" (21 and 22 Vict. c. 98) was adopted April, 1867. and the island: was governed by a Local Board of Health until the "Local Government Act," 1894," established the pmsent Urban Dilstrict 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 1. 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 lShips 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, among;:t 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 disco~ered. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in th.e quarnes 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 numbel's. The supply of water is plentiful. A railway from Portland to Weymouth is used jointly by the Great We.stern 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 1'558 to 1646 it suffered many disasters, being constantly taken and retaken by the King and the Parliament: in IBI8 it was granted to the Rev. John 1fanning 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 fe€t thick. The island is a liberty of itself, in the Weymouth union. The custom of ~velkind prevails here. A pleasure fair is held on November 5th. A fund is in existence here arising from a grant made by Oharles n. in 1665, by which a royalty of 9d. for every ton of stone quarried from all parish or commonable land is payable fQr 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 me; but this latter grant was withdrawn in 1878. One of the m.ost prominent object.s 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 bnilding 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 stoneand 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 tha!lk offering, in 1878: it is capableof seating 700 persons. The register dates from the ~'ear 1766. The living is a rectory, average tithe rentcharge £249, gross yearly value £274, with relSidence, lU the gift of the Bishop of Oxford!, and held since IB72 by the Rev. John Augustine Beazor, of St. Augustine's College, Canterbury. The lower church, St. John the Baptist, at Fortune's Well, was erect ed in 1839, and a district was assigned toit 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 year 1839. The living is a vicarage, gross yearly value £320, with 5ai1'es 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 IB73; 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 EdmunrI Ducane, consisting of apsidal chanc~l, 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 .S50 sitting-so The living is a vicarage, net yearly value £160, in th~ g-ift of the Directors of the Convict Prisons, Bnd hE'ld since 1886 by the Rev. Josiah Meigh M.A. of St. Catharine's College, Cambridge. St. Andrew'll church, Southwell, opened July 3rd, IB79, as a chapel of eas{\, was erected to commemorate the loss of the "Avalanche," with all hands off this island, September nth, 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 ta Our Lady andl 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 Cbesil to hold same number, and one at Easton to soot 500, and SOllthweJl to seat 8o; Primitive Methodist, at Fortune's Well, to hold 340, and: West<m to seat 80; and Bible Christian, at Maidenwell, to hold 150. 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 IB56, by a company. The Jubilee Hall, EastQn, 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 :\fajesty 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 Ruius or Bow and Arrow Castle, belop.ging to and forming part of the grounds of Pennsylvania Castle, formerly the property of

136 PORTLAND. DORSETSHIRE. [KELLY'S wards 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 inclosed in this stupendous seawall, covering an extent of no less than 2,I07 acres. When the works in progress are completed, consisting of an e.xtension of the breakwater from the fort to Weymouth shore, about li 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 roadistead, 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 eash side of the island (on the east weir) are other batteries ot different altitudes. Portland is a Royal ~ranor, 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. "Boscaweu," training ship for boys and 362 on H.M.S. "~-\lexandra. The area is 2,894 acres of land; rateable value, [20,859. The population of the ecclesiastical parishes in 1891 was :-St. George, 2,631; St. John the Baptist, 4,182; and St. Peter, 2,630. the late Granville J. Penn esq. of Stoke Park, Buckinghamshire. but subsequently of his relative, Stewart Forbes esq.; it is now owned by J. Me.rrick Head esq. The castle is a handsome stone edifice, built by the late John Penn esq. of Stoke Park, Bucks (governor of the Isle. of Portland), from designs by Mr. James Wyatt, architect; it was commenced at the end of the la.st century, and finished in 1800; it is charmingly situated and commands magnificent views of the Channel. The isiIDnd has reedy access to Weymouth by rail oiIld 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, ,!hen the lower onil 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 )Ieadow Rendel, to form a harbour of refuge: the breakwater extends from the north-east point of the island to a distance o~ 21 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, andl be ready for sea at a moment's notice, in case of emergency; the breakwater is 11 miles long, 120 feet wide at low water level and upOFFICIAL EST.A.BLISHMENTS, LOCAL I~STITUTIOXS, &c.
