Blandford Forum churchyard
« on: Friday 14 May 10 14:35 BST (UK) »
Visted yesterday in desperation to see whether any grave stones seem to have survived the fire of 1731. Of those that were legible the answer is none. However, two stones have broken and lie face down. Does anyone know what the inscription is on these please and also whether there are any inscriptions or graves within the church which pre date the fire. The person I am looking for is Osmond Luffman who died in Blandford in 1671.I have a copy of his VERY singed will, so the destruction was not complete.
