A DONATION box worth £800 that was stolen from a West Oxfordshire church has been found.

Brenda Bennett, treasurer at St Kenelm's Church in Minster Lovell, said: "A member of the public found it dumped in a lane in Little Tew.

"We're all very happy and it's reassuring to know it's been found.

"It's damaged beyond repair though and will need replacing with a new one.

"It must've taken more than one person to take it as it's very heavy and is made out of steel."
