- St. John's Church built in 1936 stands
on a corner of a busy road. The entrance faces the sea and the slip-way for
the boats. In summer time, after the service, the congregation lingers,
chatting in the sunshine. This is a "Chapel of Ease" associated with St.
Mary's parish church. It has a regular Sunday congregation of around 30,
overwhelmingly of retirement age.
- West Bay was the setting for the BBC
TV series Harbour Lights screened in 1999 and 2000. In recent
months special services of worship have been
launched following outreach onto the new estate of Meadowlands. There
is, here, an important ministry to visitors who appreciate the beautiful church
in its central location by the harbour. During the Summer season, in conjunction
with Churches Together in Bridport and District, special services are held
on Sunday evenings, most of which are outdoors.
