FOUR charities received donations as Burford Freemasons held its first presentation event in its 127-year history.

The 7 C's Foundation, which runs the MuzoAkademy music school in Witney, and Bridewell Organic Gardens, near Chipping Norton, were both given £500.

Meanwhile, £250 went to Witney Talking News, which records one-hour news programmes for the visually impaired, and sight loss charity The Macular Society.
