Great Storm of 1824

Fleet Old Church was destroyed in the storm but the chancel was retained.

The Great Storm of 1824 (or Great Gale) was a hurricane force wind and storm surge that affected the south coast of England from 22 November 1824.[1] Nearly 100 people were believed to be killed.[2]

At Sidmouth, low-lying houses along the Esplanade were inundated, and cottages at the exposed west end were destroyed. The 40 feet (12 m) sea-stack at Chit Rock was destroyed.[3]

It destroyed the esplanade at Weymouth; it broke across Chesil Beach and the Fleet Lagoon, almost destroying the villages of Fleet and Chiswell.[4][5] Many buildings in Melcombe Regis were destroyed.[6]

In Lyme Regis it topped the Cobb, and destroyed about 90m of its length.[1] The According to the book Heroine of Lyme Regis by Harriot Forde the house and fossil shop belonging to Mary Anning was flooded.[7]

The ferry between the Isle of Portland and the mainland was washed away.[5] Though coastal communities bore the brunt of the storm, inland areas were also damaged including Dorchester.[8]

The quays at Weymouth were overcome and most properties on the seafront and much of the lower part of the town were flooded by the deluge. The pier at the entrance of the harbour also sustained considerable damage, whilst boats and vessels were carried into the streets by the waves, where they drifted helplessly.[9]

2024 marks the bicentennial anniversary of the storm, and will be marked by events held in the area.[10]
