I've seen the church named as their starting place on a few websites. This page tells the story you mentioned.

When i found the manager's office i knocked and entered he was counting the last night's takings . i was shocked at the amount of bundles of £20s £10s and £5s and loads of bags of silver and coppers and no security whatsoever.
