Members of a conservation group supporting a 500-year-old church that was trashed during an illegal rave on New Year’s Eve say they have been “blown away” after receiving more than £22,000 in donations to help with repairs. Hundreds of party-goers attended the event at Grade II listed All Saints Church in East Horndon, Essex, and three people were arrested. Essex Police said organisers set up DJ decks, a bar, and even hired portable toilets for revellers. Volunteers said the ravers smashed a window, wired sound equipment into the church’s fuse box and churned up the ground outside with vans, causing around £1,000 of damage.
