A ROPLEY artist is selling decorative mice to help rebuild a village church which was devastated by fire.

Karen Jones has coordinated volunteer efforts to create 40 church mice out of soap and foam to raise money for St Peter’s Church, which was destroyed in a blaze in June.

The mice will be sold alongside other craft items at the village’s Victorian Christmas market on Thursday, November 27.

The market, which will also feature gifts, festive food and a visit from Father Christmas, takes place in Ropley Parish Hall from 6pm to 8pm.
