From The Cheltenham Chronicle, issue dated Thursday 29th August 1833:
A destructive fire broke out on Tuesday, Bishopstrow Farm, near Warminster, in the occupation of Mrs. Munday, arising from some sparks from the brewhouse chimney falling on the thatch, which from the long drought immediately ignited, and the wind blowing a gale the farmyard and rick barton were simultaneously a terrific blaze. Every exertion was made to arrest the progress of the flames, but unfortunately the farmhouse, large barn and stable containing two sacks of wheat, three wheat ricks, the greater part the household furniture, and all the farming implements, utensils, were totally consumed.
