There are churches up this way (North Yorks), that have beautiful Anglo-Saxon stuff in them, what is it with people that thieve, can you sell such stuff?


I've been going to more churches and small chapels in Cornwall that I ever have before in Cornwall during the past year and am constantly amazed at how trusting some still are with regard to the valuable assets on display in this day and age. Maybe it speaks well for us but there is a lot of temptation out there for those who literally wander off the straight and narrow path to seek out these little chapels often hidden away.


Most of us have respect for these places of course Roy, locking the church door means someone has to have the key, and it is quite a rigmarole just for the keyholder and the visiting person to go through. Perhaps the church officials have to come up with a solution, opening the doors on a certain day and having someone in attendance, or of course security measures which just cost money....
