Blijham, NL
The current Dutch Reformed Church from 1783 did have an older predecessor, possibly from the 16th century. That old church was seriously damaged in 1781 during a village riot about the appointment of a new schoolmaster. It was decided to demolish it and build a new one. On 29 September 1941, the tower (from 1872) burned down after it was hit by a crashing English plane. The church was restored in phases between 1963 and 2001. On 20 May 2003, the weather vane was replaced and the restoration was completed. On that occasion, the booklet Dutch (sic) Reformed Church Blijham - Then and Now (48-02/51-04) was published.
