A super knitter is the toast of a Norfolk village after she used her famous creative talents to recreate its church.

Margaret Seaman, 92, spent two years creating her version of All Saints Church in Filby to help support an appeal to restore its bells to their original condition.

Mrs Seaman, from Caister and who was honoured by the Queen for her charitable knitting creations, unveiled her woolen church at Filby's village hall.

She said it was two years in the making and was pleased it had finally come to fruition.

The church in Filby, near Great Yarmouth, dates back to the 14th century and has a 15th century tower. It is part of the South Trinity Broads Parish.
