Minor fire at Chastleton House, Oxfordshire

Posted on July 19, 2009 by Matthew Beckett - The Country Seat

Visitors had to be evacuated from the beautiful Grade-I listed, Jacobean, Chastleton House on Saturday 11 July when a small fire broke out in an upstairs bedroom. Luckily, damage was minor and the house was largely unharmed, but yet another reminder that fire is always an ever present danger.
