A retired vicar has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing two boys when he was at a church in Northamptonshire.

Collin Pritchard now living in East Sussex, admitted seven sex offences, six of which were committed against one boy.

The offences took place while he was parish priest at St Andrew's Church in Wellingborough in the 1970s and 80s.

Pritchard was jailed for five years at Northampton Crown Court.
