Description
Holy Trinity, Buckfastleigh, Devon, UK, England
On Tuesday the 8th of May 1849 arsonists broke into the church and started a fire which destroyed the vestry, part of the roof of the north aisle, the parish chest and badly damaged the communion table. 1884 the church was restored and the work included renewing the spire which had been truncated by a previous lightening strike. During the Second World War some of the stain glass windows were shattered by the blast from German bombs which fell nearby.
21st of July 1992 when sometime around midnight the church was broken into and a fire started under the altar. This time the inferno completely gutted the church. The biggest problem that the fire brigade faced was that the nearest hydrant was a quarter of a mile away and the fact that the water had to be pumped uphill, it took a relay of thirty eight 70ft connected hoses to get the water on site. The fire was so intense that the heat literally blew apart the old Norman font. (you can read the full story here":http://www.legendarydartmoor.co.uk/buckfastleig...)
