SILK scarves, decorative soft toys, corn dollies and a wide range of paintings and craftwork went on display in St Gabriel's church, Hanley Swan, this week.

Most of the exhibits are for sale, from watercolour and oil paintings down to individual hand-made greeting cards and local produce, with some or all of the money going towards the church benefice fund.

"We had a steady stream of visitors when we opened on Saturday," said Hanley Swan vicar the Rev Frances Wookey, who added refreshments were available.

"People will be made very welcome if they come down and see us," she said.

Corn dollies, picture frames, jewellery, silk painting and more are also on show. The exhibition is free to enter, and is open every day except Sundays between 2pm and 5pm until Monday, August 26.
