ANTIQUE enthusiasts queued to have their precious objects valued by an expert at an antique evaluation in Backwell.

Thomas Plant, a familiar figure on Bargain Hunt, viewed pieces from 90 people during the evening.

The event raised �800 for charity, which will be split between St Peter’s Hospice and USOG (Anglicans in World Mission), which is supporting two members of Backwell Church in their work in Tanzania.
