Stolen statue

It is extremely disappointing and sad that thieves have stolen a the statue of Mary and Jesus, known as the Madonna and Child, from our Church sometime in February.

It is not known exactly when it was taken but perhaps when thieves targeted two safes in the church used to store holy items on February 17.

The five foot bronze statue was created by local artist Shirley Morrison, and paid for by parishioners.

If you have any information that may help please call the police or contact the churchwardens, either Jennifer Nicholls on 01206 230688 or Ann Fairley on 01206 250229.
