Sometime between September 25 and October 1, a silver chalice worth thousands of pounds was stolen from a village church in Cambridgeshire. According to the sources, the chalice is believed to date back to the 16th century. It was kept in the All Saints and St Andrews Church, where thieves broke in and took the chalice from the safe. The police have been notified and are running investigations.
PC Hannah Watkins commented: “We’re urging anyone who spotted any suspicious activity in the area or who has seen the chalice for sale to contact us as a matter of urgency.”
