Long Curtain to King's Bastion. Part of de Gomme's defensive scheme surviving in near original condition. Faces the sea with small scale outer defences. Earthern rampart with inclined inner face, flat top and stone outward face rising almost vertically from the moat, with strong rounded string course at top of stone work. Above this a brick parapet borders a walkway along the outward side of rampart. The seaward side of the moat is now a promenade, with vertical inner face behind which is a covered passageway.

| Church C.13-19 |
Royal Garrison Church. Originally founded in 1212 by Peter des Roches, then Bishop of Winchester, as Domus Dei, a hospice managed by the Monks of Southwick Priory, offering accommodation and care to the aged and to travellers. The nave of the church was the chapel. The Domus Dei was closed at the dissolution of the monasteries and converted for military use. In 1827 all other buildings demolished leaving only the Garrison Church. A thorough restoration was undertaken by G.E. Street in 1866 but the building sustained bomb damage in 1940, and the nave is now completely roofless. The west front entirely rebuilt by Street has a steeply gabled centre composition with a four light window, and simple west door. The east aisle window is an original lancet and the east window of the north aisle is also original but blocked. The west and side windows of the aisles are all by Street. The entrance to the Church is now a small priest's door on the south of the chancel, which is screened from the nave by a glazed wall. The chancel is of three vaulted bays of Early English design and contains elaborate fittings by Street, including carved choir stalls and terracotta and glazed tiling. The stained glass east window is by Carl Edwards 1958. Ref: 1. Buildings of Hampshire and IOW (Pevsner and Lloyd) pp.404-407. Ref: 2. Buildings of Portsmouth and its Environs. (Lloyd) p.12. Ref: 3.
