Storm Eunice finds easy target
Thank you to ‘Friends’ The Friends of Blandford Community Hospital have donated £59,000 to Dorset HealthCare to enable the purchase of a new C-Arm X-Ray for the hospital. Vicky Cadec Senior Sister said: “Dorset HealthCare and all the team in the Procedure Room at Blandford Community Hospital are delighted to have the continued support of The Friends. We are extremely grateful for this donation which has made it possible to acquire the new C-Arm X-Ray equipment.
by Nicci Brown Storm Eunice found a rather easy target at the top of the cupola on the tower of Blandford Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul. The weathervane has been leaning for some time, and was part of the reason why there has been no ringing of the church bells since the end of pandemic restrictions and before that the suspension of bellringing during the restoration of the church tower and cupola completed in 2016. The
intention was to deal with the problem once the main scaffolding being erected around the church for repairs to the church roof and interior plasterwork in a further Heritage Lottery funded restoration. The high winds brought it down completely and prematurely on Friday morning, and the steeplejacks arrived the following day to make it safe until further repairs could be carried out
