Hundreds of people helped to raise more than £4,000 for the 12th century Holy Trinity Church in Bradford on Avon.

They browsed around 40 charity and community stalls at a street market on Saturday (July 1) in the churchyard and inside the church.

Organiser John Potter said: “Everyone had a really good time. There was a huge number of people there in the church and the churchyard.

“Visitors were able to look around the church and we had queues of people waiting to go up the bell tower.”

Stallholders included a group of Ukrainian refugees, as well as those representing community groups, charities and Bradford on Avon Museum.

“Everybody did really well and took lots of money. We raised more than £4,000 for the church,” Mr Potter said.

The Grade 1 listed church was built around 1150 and originally consisted of just a nave and a chancel, which was lengthened in the 13th century.

The tower with spire was built around 1480, replacing an older one, and a section of the south-east wall was rebuilt in 1707. The south wall was largely rebuilt in the 19th century.

In 2016, the sale of a Flemish masterpiece by Quentin Matsys funded a £2 million refurbishment.
