St George's ~ Portland

St George's ~ Portland
Completed in 1766, the church was closed in 1914 for many reasons, and fell into further disrepair ever since that time. In the 1960s it fell under the protection of a newly formed group, the 'Friends of St George's Church', who were able to restore it. Now no longer needed for regular worship, it is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Open to the public.

It was certainly quiet Fabio :) I have never seen such a big graveyard with so many large, old memorial stones. Most of them I could not read unfortunately. Thank you for your kind comments.
All the best, Rosa.

Hello Sarah, It is a shame but the church does get a lot of visitors and many photographers in the graveyard the time I was there! Thank you for your kind comments and YS. Always appreciated. Best wishes, Rosa.
