Charter 400 Mosaic Maze

On Monday 28 April 2008 Cllr Esme Butler, Chairman of the Charter 400 Committee, officially opened the mosaic maze that was paid for through funds raised by the Committee during 2005 to commemorate 400 years of the granting of the Royal Charter to Blandford Forum. Cllr Butler informed those who had gathered to the opening that the mosaic would be a lasting credit to the work carried out by the members of the Committee and she was supported by the Mayor, Cllr Hitchings, who said it would be a lasting memento to the town. The tree in the Tabernacle represents the 300th anniversary of the Charter and now fittingly looks down over the mosaic tree in Woodhouse Gardens, and we hope that both trees will be there for future generations at the 500th anniversary of the Charter!
