Blaze at 15th century Angmering farmhouse

The fire, at Avenals Farm, off Water Lane, Angmering, started in the roof just before 11pm last night (Thursday, September 17), and 12 fire crews fought to bring it under control, though a number were still at the property at 9.30am today.

A spokesman for West Sussex Fire and Rescue said: "Two adults and a teenage boy were in the property at the time, but were unaware of a developing fire in their roof loft until debris fell into the airing cupboard and bathroom area, setting of the smoke alarms."
