Blandford Church, Colonial church in Petersburg, United States
Blandford Church, built in 1736, stands at the highest point of Petersburg on Well's Hill next to Blandford Cemetery, a notable burial ground.
During the Civil War, the structure served as a telegraph station and field hospital following the Battle of the Crater in July 1864.
The church features thirteen stained glass windows created by Louis Comfort Tiffany between 1904 and 1912, representing Confederate states and their heritage.
Visitors can access both the church interior and cemetery grounds through scheduled guided tours that explain the site's architectural and historical elements.
The church holds the distinction of being the oldest standing structure in Petersburg, containing memorial windows funded by former Confederate states.
