NORTON Priory museum is home until the end of September to an exhibition of work by Halton schools to celebrate the return of the St Christopher statue.

Six primary schools - Brookvale, Daresbury, Moorfield, St Mary's CE, The Grange and The Park - took up an invitation from Margaret Warhurst, the museum trust's director, to take part in an exhibition based on the Norton Priory statue.

She said: "The work is stunning. It is already attracting a lot of interest from our visitors and is a great way of welcoming the statue back to the site."

The exhibition includes carvings, embroideries, paintings, drawings, glasswork, photographs, collages and mosaics.
