Blandford Church and Cemetery

This is a photo I took at the cemetery this week following a funeral. The snow allowed me to see the details of this 300 acre cemetery.


Here is a photo of the altar within the historic church. The stain glass windows were made by L.C. Tiffany. The detail of these windows can only be appreciated in person. There are over 30,000 confederate soldiers in the cemetery.


The church building dates back to 1735. The church offers a tangible look back into American history. The location is about thirty miles south of Richmond in the town of Petersburg. Very interesting visit.
