PYWORTHY'S Church Christmas fayre has raised more than £700.

The fayre took place on Saturday and was opened by actor and resident John Nettles.

The tables were heavily laden with everything from handmade cards to knitted items and decorations for sale.

The kitchen was kept really busy making teas and coffees and supplying the mince pies with clotted cream to everyone and the children's chocolate tombola proved very popular.

The overall organiser Mary Robinson said she was very pleased with the total of £736 profit for church funds and expressed thanks to everybody for their hard work.
