Blandford St Mary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blandford St. Mary is a village and civil parish in the North Dorset district of Dorset, England.
The village is on the south bank of the River Stour, immediately opposite the rather larger Blandford Forum. Badger Brewery, owned by Hall and Woodhouse, is based here. The old stone gate of Bryanston School is at the top end of Blandford St. Mary. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 1,233, and the postcodes begin DT11.
Blandford St. Mary has one traditional pub, but no shops or stores due to the proximity of Blandford "over the bridge."
"Lower Blandford St. Mary" is a rural outpost of Blandford St Mary, in the farm fields to the South across the bypass road, with a quaint small church and graveyard, and one or two historic houses.
