Toboggan run at St Wulfram's Church, Grantham

Fr Stuart Cradduck said he wanted to do "something more risky"

A vicar who installed an ice rink in his church has gone a step further this winter by adding a toboggan run.

Fr Stuart Cradduck took to his skates in 2015 at St Wulfram's in Grantham wearing his vicar's cassock, but took a tumble on his first outing.

He said the toboggan run would "up the ante" and make this year's festive offering "a bit more risky".

At 45ft (13.7m) long it promises to be "quite a ride" through the 14th Century building, he said.

Fr Stuart Cradduck said he has been practising his skating since taking a tumble in 2015

Fr Cradduck said: "We wanted to do something different this year, something a bit more risky."

He said the toboggan run seemed liked the perfect addition to the artificial ice rink.

"You sit on one of those little bottom sledge things - hold the handle between your legs - and go flying down it," he said.

Fr Cradduck, who says "life is for living", hit the headlines in 2015 after taking a tumble on the ice when the rink was first used in the church.

He said since then he has had plenty of time to practice and was now "at a level where he could ice dance with the stars".

The attractions, along with more than 100 themed Christmas trees, will be in place at the church until 3 December.

Fr Cradduck said he is hoping to find a willing volunteer to perform the Bolero with him - a routine made famous by Torvill and Dean at the 1984 Olympics.
