THE magnificent sum of £2,273.50 was raised at the St Stephen’s Church Christmas bazaar on Saturday.

The stalls included Christmas wreaths and table decorations, a raffle with a £50 first prize, tombola, cakes, gifts, teddy tombola, produce, various games and books.

The stallholders worked hard to raise such a pleasing total, which will go towards church running costs.

In 2016, there will be many more fundraising events to cover the costs of replacing the church roof.
