An 18th Century manor house has been damaged by fire which left crews fearing it might collapse.
The blaze was spotted in the three-storey building in Milltown, Cornwall, at about 08:50 GMT.
Initially, three fire crews were called but nine more were sent to the scene, near Lostwithiel, at about 11:45.
After nearly nine hours it was brought under under control and there were no reports of injuries. It is understood the house was empty at the time.
Experts from the Environment Agency were called in to carry out an environmental risk assessment.
Wow, this doesn't look good at all . It's never nice to see this happening to historic buildings.
I'm relieved that nobody was injured, but I do hope the manor doesn't collapse, or otherwise get damaged beyond repair...
