CHURCH RENOVATION FUND CONCERT

A concert, in aid of the above fund, was given at the Village Hall, Westmill, on Wednesday evening last.

The preliminary arrangements were ably carried out by Mrs Deacon (of Knight's Hill), and Mr F. Anthony (Buntingford), and a lengthy programme was gone through - most of the items being encored.

Previous to the first item on the programme, Mrs Deacon referred to the church being over 800 years old, and that repairs, of course, were necessary from time to time, and also that as it was a heritage to us, said it was only right we should keep it in good condition.

The concert was thoroughly enjoyed, and the room packed to overflowing. All the artists gave there [sic] services free.

A substantial sum was realized [sic], and will be given to the fund.

Before the close, the Rev. A.G. King thanked the promoters, and also everyone who has assisted in making the entertainment such a success.
