A CHARITY auction at The Lowtrow Cross Inn, in Upton, near Wiveliscombe, has raised more than £1,700 for cancer patients.

The pub’s annual Marrow Sunday auction took place on October 12, and the £1,752 raised has now been handed over to the chosen charity – the Beacon Centre at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton.

Organisers thank all those who donated.
