Vicar opens gym in church building

The Reverend Leigh Winsbury has built a gym in a former monk's residence near his church.

He said he had been inspired to set up the facilities as there was a lack of gyms around Hatherleigh in Devon.

Mr Winsbury added the cut-price gym was open to everyone - worshippers and weightlifters, or anyone who just wanted to get fit.
