AS PART of the Fernhurst Hub’s children’s Christmas events, 20 eager youngsters picked up their sheep trail maps at the hub and set about finding 36 knitted woolly sheep which were hiding around the village.

Adorable hand-knitted sheep peeped out of shop windows and noticeboards, and some nestled between carrots and onions at Crossways Fruiterers.

The trail led to St Margaret’s Church, where several sheep were to be found - the last one was cheekily located on the altar.

Once they spotted the sheep, the children marked down the number next to them and returned their completed trail maps to the hub.

All the children were rewarded with sticker books, bubbles and chocolate coins.

There was a special prize for the best name for the white woolly sheep found on the church altar.

This was won by nine-year-old Louisa Hampton, who named the sheep Cloudy.
