Firefighters have attended a large fire at Studley Castle in Warwickshire today



The 19th century country house in Studley, near Alcester, is used as a hotel and its ground floor was well alight by around 7am.

Crews from Alcester, Henley-in-Arden and two from Redditch battled the fire at the four storey building which is believed to have started in a room containing numerous fridges and freezers.

A statement from West Midlands Fire Service said: “The crews were extinguishing the fire using fire fighters in breathing apparatus, a hose reel and a covering jet with water supplied by a hydrant.”

It is not yet known whether anyone has been hurt in the fire.

That is sad. I spent many a happy hour there in the past.
