Brent Pelham

Fire

A serious fire broke out at Beeches, the resident of Major M.E. Barclay, joint master of the Puckeridge Hunt, on Thursday morning last.

The fire, which is stated to have been caused through a motor car back-firing, destroyed two valuable hunters.

Five other horses were rescued with difficulty, but the stables and newly-erected men's quarters were badly damaged.

The Bishops Stortford and Ware Fire Brigades were in attendance, and fortunately there was a good supply of water available.
