A Northamptonshire village church has been targeted by thieves days ahead of a fundraiser organised to raise money for its repairs.

Between 6pm on June 15 and 9.45am on June 16, lead roof panels were stolen from the chancel roof of St Peter and St Paul’s Church in Watford.

It has been two years since an attempted theft in May 2016 when thieves stripped the lead from the nave roof.
