Appeal: Paintings stolen from church

Have you seen these religious paintings which have been reported stolen from a church in Spilsby?

We are trying to trace them following the report that they were taken from St Andrew’s church in Main Road, Little Steeping.

The items missing are all in heavy wooden frames, and are:

• Painting of the Lord’s prayer
• Painting of the ten commandments
• Painting of Moses giving the commandments - all in text

The value of these items is unknown, but they have sentimental value to the church and its members.

It is not clear when the theft took place, but the theft was discovered on Sunday 23 February. There were no signs of damage caused to the church itself.

If you know where they might be, or have seen them for sale or offered in another way on social media sites such as Facebook Marketplace, please get in touch with the details you have.

We would like to find the person responsible and locate the paintings to return them to the church and the congregation.
