caption_attribution_description: English: St Eadmer's parish church at grid reference SD 573 455 in Bleasdale, Lancashire, England. Probably the only church with this dedication. Description at lancashirechurches.co.uk.
context_page_description: Bleasdale is a village and civil parish in the Wyre district of Lancashire, England, in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The two sources of the River Brock lie within the parish. According to the 2001 census, it had a population of 147, increasing to 167 at the 2011 Census.
  Within the parish are:
  Bleasdale parish church, probably the only one anywhere dedicated to Saint Eadmer.
  Bleasdale Circle, a Bronze Age circular earthwork, originally with an outer ring and possibly aligned with the sunrise of the Summer Solstice.
  Bleasdale Church of England Primary School.
  The Parish Hall, built in 1929.
  The former post office, housed in the forge opposite Higher Brock Mill on the River Brock, supporting brown and rainbow trout. From 1947 to 2002 the post office housed a café for locals, cycling and hiking folk to refresh, fitted with a well, dating from about 1700, beneath the building. In the early 1900s, "Jack Custard" was renowned there for the quality of his custard tart.
  The ancient Forest of Bleasdale is less well known than its more famous neighbour, the Forest of Bowland but its history is recounted by Smith.
