ST John’s Church in Glastonbury was transformed into a craft and produce market on August Bank Holiday Monday as part of its fundraising drive to pay for renovation work. Tours of the church tower also helped to boost funds.
Imogen Crees was knitting baby blankets out of scraps of material in aid of the church. Any unsold were being sent to the Project Linus charity which provides “comfort blankets” for sick and traumatised children: www.projectlinus.org.uk
