A church will benefit from two bequests which have swollen its accounts by £24,000.

The money was left to St Botolph's Church in Heene, Worthing, by Len Willis (£10,000) and Gladys Johnson (£12,000).

A recent inspection of the church revealed some loose slates on the roof and a report is now being prepared on what other work needs to be done.

Jackie Simpson, secretary of the Parochial Church Council, said: "It is important we consider carefully the best use of the fine legacies we have received."
