This square pillbox is built into the north west corner of the churchyard wall of St. Martin's Church, North Street, Wareham and was camouflaged with stone to match the wall. It is located in the corner of the churchyard wall south of the old road bridge over the River Piddle or Trent. SY 923 877 (Photos Mick Ackrill)
