St Paul's Church at Staverton
FIREFIGHTERS from Bradford on Avon and Trowbridge put out a fire in the former St Paul's Church at Staverton on Tuesday morning.
The Grade 2 listed church is being renovated and converted into a private home after being put up for sale by the Diocese of Salisbury in 2013. It had closed in 2010 after its congregation dwindled.
Dorset and Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service said the crews found the fire in the floorboards on the ground floor.
They extinguished the fire using two breathing apparatus and one hose reel jet.
