Some clothes m front of an open wood fire in the diningroom caught, and when the dooi of the room was opened it was a mass of flames.

Only the outbuildings and stables were saved. .The only salvage from the main building was the stock in the bar. The loss includes a new piano and about £2O cash. The insurances are not yet known.
