A 15th Century helmet was among the items taken

Thieves stole three medieval tankards and the helmet from inside a cabinet after breaking into St Mary's Church in Main Street, Hardwick.

Cambridgeshire Police are appealing for information about the burglary which occurred between 13 May and 17 May.

The helmet is believed to be Italian and date from the 15th Century.
