Blandford Church

The Brick Church on Well's Hill, now known as Old Blandford Church of Bristol Parish, is located in Petersburg, Virginia adjacent to Blandford Cemetery. Erected in 1735, the church building was abandoned in 1806 after the building of another Episcopal church in Petersburg when the Town of Blandford was absorbed by Petersburg. Necessary repairs for its preservation were made by the City of Petersburg in 1882.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Crater Road )〕 As part of the restoration project, the Ladies' Memorial Association solicited funds from each former Confederate state for the creation and installation of a stained glass window in memory of the Confederate soldiers from that state. Louis Comfort Tiffany's studio was commissioned to design the fifteen memorial compass windows. Each of the large windows contains the image of a Saint and symbols associated with the Saint. The four smaller windows were designed to complement the larger ones.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= City of Petersburg Tourist Information )
== History ==

At their meeting on November 18, 1900, the Ladies' Memorial Association decided to ask permission to make "Old Blandford Church" into a "mortuary and memorial chapel. "〔Minutes, LMA meetings of May 1, 1899 and Nov. 18, 1900〕 Fifteen windows were installed between 1904 and 1912. Most display a state seal, the figure of a saint, and an inscription. Eleven were donated by each of the former Confederate states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Two were donated by Missouri and Maryland. Kentucky, another border state, was the only state that refused to participate. In addition, there is a window of a Christian cross of jewels donated by Louis Comfort Tiffany.〔Peters, John. Blandford Cemetery: Death and Life at Petersburg, Virginia. Petersburg, VA.
