I DO hope that whoever stole the day's takings from my craft stall at St Crux, York, on Saturday had greater need of the money than the parish church in Wheldrake, for whom we were fund-raising for the continued work of the church within the village.

May God forgive you.

Mrs T Cox,

Ruddings,

Wheldrake, York.
