The fire broke out during the evening

A Grade II-listed building in Norfolk has been destroyed in a fire.

Dozens of firefighters from across Norfolk were called to Hickling Hall, Hickling, at about 19:50 GMT.

Norfolk Fire Service said the three-floor hall, situated on a farm, was “fully involved” in the fire.

The cause is unknown. Roy Harrold, Norfolk’s deputy chief fire officer, said: “With the nature of a building fire this intense, it’s difficult to get back inside safely.”

He added: “There will be pockets of fire hidden underneath debris and rubble in the building.”
