WITHERIDGE

The farm house at Lower Blagrove, East Worling ton, near Witheridge was destroyed by fire last week.

Most of the Furhibure has saved also the farm buildings thanks to the efforts of Mr. Mercer and the Tiverton Brigade.

The owner is Mr. E. Bowerman, of Carey Fitzpaine, near Taunton; and the occupier Mr Geo, Luxton, married, with several children.

The fire appears to have spread to the thatch roof from a defective flue. The premises were insured.
