Blandford Forum, Dorset
Blandford Forum on Wikipedia. Blandford Evangelical Church stands at the junction of Alexandra Street and Albert Street, and was seen by Streetview in 2015. Older maps label it as Primitive Methodist, and is dated here to 1877. The same source also mentions an earlier chapel on Doctor's Close, which I haven't been able to locate. ST 8887 0674. Link. The cemetery on Salisbury Road has two mortuary chapels - Nonconformist (ST 8921 0740) and Church of England (ST 8924 0743). Both © Chris Kippin (2022). The chapels, boundary wall, gates etc. share a grade II listing, and a War Memorial has its own grade II listing. The Methodist Church is on The Close.
