There is a photo in the foyer of Holy Trinity of the man described in the following piece from the Diocese:
To: Clergy, Churchwardens and Parish Administrators
The Avon and Somerset Constabulary have been in touch to warn us of a fraudster who seems to be targeting church members up and down the country.
His method of operation is normally to approach elderly lone persons, stating he is a priest from Ireland and has broken down. He states he needs cash to get the vehicle repaired to get to a funeral/ home etc. He calls at their home addresses and has obviously done his homework - perhaps by attending church - as they are generally linked to the local church in some way. Because of this, they part with varying amounts of cash.
This male may attend local churches and try to identify potential parish members who he can contact and request money from.
