Dozens of Christmas trees filled a church as Christmas arrived in Kelvedon.

St Mary's Parish Church’s fifth annual Christmas tree festival saw more than 500 people visit the church last weekend to run the rule over 37 glistening Christmas trees and enjoy the other festivities on offer.

All of the trees were put together by villages and community groups, with the entry from residents of Church Street, which had a four seasons theme, named as the winner.

Money raised from programme sales and donations will be split between Witham Foodbank and Little Havens Hospice.
