Church sells painting to pay for toilet
A Cambridgeshire church is hoping to raise £5,000 towards the cost of a toilet by selling a Biblical oil painting by a Scottish Victorian artist.All Saints in Shepreth is offering The Widow's Mite, by G C Alexander, for sale at Cheffins in Cambridge.
The painting, a copy of a Vatican fresco by Raphael, was given to the church by a villager 50 years ago.
Alexander, of Dundee, was commissioned to copy paintings in Roman churches in the 1860s.
