Church cheque boost
A WELCOME boost for a revamp fund is being celebrated at a Dewsbury church.
The St John Lodge of Freemasons has handed over £1,000 to help restoration work at Thornhill parish church.
The money is being channelled towards the cost of lighting and a sound system – just part of an overall scheme costing £250,000.
