Yardley A former altar boy who became a priest in Australia bequeathed £56,700 to St Edburgha's Church - the exact sum needed for spire repairs. Gilbert Roy, who died at 62, was unaware of the work but left a sixth of his estate. The vicar, the Rev Bill Sands and John Seeley, the churchwarden, said that their prayers had been answered.
