- Pillbox (variant): DoB ID: S0008510 Wareham -St Martin's Church - Square Variant Pillbox. Another close view of both the pillbox and its brick entrance in the churchyard above. No doubt any objections raised at the time about building the pillbox in the churchyard would have been overruled by wartime expediency. Image
