Avalanche Memorial Church
Church in Dorset, England
The Avalanche Memorial Church, also known as the Church of St Andrew, is a Church of England church in Southwell, on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. It was built in 1879 and remains active as part of the Portland Parish.[1] The church, along with its boundary wall, has been a Grade II Listed building since September 1978.[2]
The church was designed C.R. George Crickmay in an early English style. Built by Lynham and Bayliss of Portland, it was completed in 1879 and consecrated by the Bishop of Salisbury on 3 July.[3][4] The church is not to be confused with the ruins of Portland's first parish church, the 13th century St Andrew's Church.
