FACE of Jesus shot out by vandals armed with air rifles causing thousands of pounds worth of damage to church

From The Daily Mail-

Vandals have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to a church after they attacked stained glass windows - shooting out the face of Jesus Christ.

The damage is just the latest in a two-month spell of vandalism attacks on St Bartholomew’s Church in Crewkerne, near Yeovil in Somerset.

Five stunning windows at the Grade I-listed Anglican church have been smashed by the air rifle-wielding thugs - each set to cost more than £2,300 to repair.


Churchwarden Dorothy Tozer said: ‘It is very distressing. Just one of the windows would cost us £2,350. We spent a lot of money last year to get the church a bit warmer for visitors.
‘But the holes in the windows are not helping at all. They are small holes but the windows are painted and bespoke making them very expensive to replace.
