A “fantastic” concert at Haworth Parish Church launched the second stage of its three-phase restoration programme.

‘Viva la Musica’, a 12-strong travelling choir from Leicestershire, delivered an hour-long concert with an English pastoral theme. The following day they performed the rarely-heard choral eucharist at the church.

The concert raised £100 which will go towards the renovation.

The next major phase of refurbishment will involve replacing the Victorian building’s north-facing roof.
