Grantham vicar takes a fall at St Wulfram’s Church rink

A would-be ice skating cleric took an untimely tumble after taking to a pop-up rink at his church.

Father Clay Rowntree donned his skates to celebrate the opening of the attraction at St Wulfram's Church in Grantham.

Thankfully, he emerged unscathed, giving a thumbs up and saying he "was all right".

The synthetic rink, which is a regular feature in the church in the run-up to Christmas, also proved the undoing of Father Stuart Cradock a few years ago.
