St John's Church, Portland

[1] The churchyard walls, gate piers, railings, and steps of St. John's Church, dating from 1839–40, became Grade II Listed in September 1978.

[2] At this same time, two headstone monuments, about 5 metres north east from the west tower of the church became Grade II Listed.

Built of Portland stone, the church has a Gothic design in Commissioners' Early English style.

[9] When the Second World War drew to a close, on VJ Day, the 14th Port Regiment of the US Army presented its Stars and Stripes colours to St John's Church, as a memento of its close association with the people of Portland, both service and civilian.

[10] In 1968 a Father Willis Organ was brought from St Paul's School, Kensington, London for £2,000, and installed after the balcony was reinforced.
