Bishop of Worcester's ex-home hit by fire

Fire crews have been tackling a blaze at Hartlebury Castle, the former home of the Bishop of Worcester. The fire service said they were called to a rapidly-developing blaze in a workshop area, at 23.46 BST on Wednesday. Thirty firefighters tackled it using water from a nearby pool. Crews are still at the scene. Hartlebury Castle was the official residence of the Bishop of Worcester, until 2007. The Grade I listed building houses the historic Hurd library and the Worcestershire County Museum.
