Police are hoping to speak to a generous donor after a large amount of cash was left in a bag outside an Exeter charity shop.
The donation was discovered outside the Hospiscare charity shop in Cowick Street on the morning of Monday 11 November and police are now trying to establish if the donation was made legitimately.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall police said: “There is nothing to suggest that it is not legitimate but we want to make sure that the person who left the money intended to do so.
“The money, which was in used £20 notes and was in excess of £2,000...
Prop Moray Low believes Exeter Chiefs’ recent cup exploits have given the club the perfect lift as they prepare to head back into Aviva Premiership action this Friday.
Three victories in four games have helped to put Rob Baxter’s side not only top of their European Challenge Cup pool, but also at the summit of their LV= Cup group as well following back-to-back successes against rivals Gloucester and Bath.
It has - according to Scottish international Low - been a profitable four weeks for the Chiefs, who know they will face an acid test next up against defending league...

FAT! That's what I'm making a show about. My fat. Your fat, maybe. Fat. I've been fat for a long time now, and I thought I was fat, even when I wasn't, and as such, I've been thinking about fat for even longer. So I made a show about it. Our bodies and egos are fragile, our ways of talking about them inadequate, so I can understand that you might not be up for talking about fat for an hour. So I'll make you some promises:
- I promise to tell the truth. - I promise to make it funny. - I promise you won't get any mess on your nice clothes.
“It is not going to be easy in so short a time to tell you the fundamental reasons why I am a painter” — Roland Penrose
Roland returns home, braced for change. Friend and biographer to Picasso, husband to Lee Miller; collector and surrealist artist; teacher of camouflage to the Home Guard - Roland Penrose was a man at the heart of his time: its art, its personalities, its conflicts.
From the battlefields of Spain to the Minotaurs of desire, the tranquility of the Côte d'Azur to a bohemian London on the eve of another World War, [Roland : A Collage] is a theatrical collage...

You’ll laugh, cry and the other one. Here’s a personal message from Arthur himself. ‘If you only buy...
More than 1,000 people across Devon and Cornwall have taken part in a consultation process which allows communities to decide how low-level criminals may be punished in the future.

The consultation was required under legislation outlined in the Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act. A total of 1,022 people took part in the process, either face to face or...
A World War One commemorative stone sundial was unveiled yesterday (Tuesdy) in Drewsteignton Village Garden to mark Remembrance Day. Tim Cambourne, Castle Drogo Project Manager said: "There is a very close connection between the Trust and the residents of Drewsteignton and surrounding villages.
