FOUR fire crews were called to All Saints Church in Sutton to reports of a fire in the vestry.

Firefighters were called just after 10.15pm yesterday, Thursday, September 17, to reports of fire at the church on Ellamsbridge Road.

Crews attempted to gain entrance to the building which was locked and found a fire in the ground floor of the vestry.

They extinguished the fire and checked elsewhere in the building for any sign of further fires.

The cause of the fire is believed to be accidental.

Firefighters left the scene after 1am.
