The outline of the blocked embrasure in the end wall can be seen to the right of the drainpipe's water stain. Both the railway and the River Frome on their route east along the Stop Line from Maiden Newton towards Poole, part company here. The Frome flows east into Poole Harbour, whilst the railway swings away to the north on its short journey around the harbour to Poole town. Image

No doubt any objections raised at the time about building the pillbox in the churchyard would have been overruled by wartime expediency. Image

- Pillbox (variant): DoB ID: S0008510 Wareham - St Martin's Church - Square Variant Pillbox. Looking very much like a simple loopholed wall, this is in fact a complete pillbox that was disguised by building into the wall of the NW corner of St Martin's churchyard. Square in outline, it had two embrasures, one is extant, the other on the north side wall has been rendered over, whilst inside under each one is a concrete shelf. As can be seen it is well camouflaged, the stonework having been chosen to blend with that of the churchyard wall. The brick entrance passage in the churchyard is via steps down between two blast walls to an entrance doorway on the left. Situated just north of the Frome, it was built to cover the northern approach to the town, the Piddle Valley, and the railway to Poole. Image

It is located at North-Street

The mill race rejoins the river just below the North Mill.
