A 91-YEAR-old man is once again preparing to abseil more than 100ft to raise money for a Leominster church.

Arthur Davis, from Leominster, will be the oldest abseiler taking on the challenge to raise money towards the work of the Priory Church, including the maintenance of the building.

Mr Davis was one of 27 people to complete the abseil from the church tower in 2014 and will climb the winding staircase again next Saturday (October 21) for this year's event, which is sponsored by Handley & Hawcutt Funeral Directors.
