When Sarah Greep discovered she was locked inside the Minster Church of St Andrew in Plymouth she found she was left with few options for escape if she didn’t want to ’cause a fuss’.
The Jam-maker was willing to wait for the next service to begin before making her exit but to keep herself occupied she decided to log on to Twitter rather than phone for help.
‘I just went into the small chapel at St Andrew’s Church where I sometimes go, and didn’t think for one minute they were going to close the door,’ she told Plymouth Herald.
After she had let people know she was in a bit of a bind, Twitter users managed to pull together a team of helpers, including Plymouth council leader Tudor Evans and local police chief inspector Brendan Brookshaw.
‘I didn’t want to bother anyone but thought I would just send a few Tweets as it was a bit unusual,’ she added.
‘The next thing I know Tudor Evans is calling the police to help get me out!’
Ms Greep was eventually freed after Chief Inspector Brookshaw got in contact with someone with a key, who came to the place of worship and let her out.
It turned out the boss at Janner Jam actually enjoyed her time at the church and even made a video while she was stuck.
