A Songs of praise service at St Andrew’s Church, Heddington, raised more than £150 to support the local community.

Proceeds from the event, on September 30, will go towards charitable causes in the parishes of the Oldbury Benefice.

A choir of 20 residents from the villages entertained guests. They were led by conductor Alan Boulton and accompanied by organist Ray Phillips.

A choir from Heddington Primary School, led by headteacher Tracey Dunn, also sang for the 110-strong congregation.

The programme was made up of favourite hymns chosen by the congregation and some anthems sung by the choirs on their own.
