Church of St Helen

  • ... that when three men wearing gloves, masks and balaclavas were found on the roof of a church missing £100,000 of lead (pictured), they were let off because police said they "might be there just for the view"?

  • This is a really nice article. I'm wondering why the full church name is not in the hook - perhaps length? Duplication detector found no copyright violations. This is a 2009 article that was 490 readable prose before expansion, and 1888 prose with expansion by date of nomination. Additional expansion has brought it to 2513 prose, making it eligible for 5X expansion rule. Maile66 (talk) 13:21, 6 June 2012 (UTC)


  • Yes, its something like 195 characters long, so I couldn't add anymore, I had to remove "that in 2008," already. Thank you very much.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 20:31, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
