FIREFIGHTERS were called to a barn fire in the New Alresford area last night.
The fire destroyed around 80 per cent of the thatched roof of the barn on Barratts Wood Lane in the village of Bighton.
Thirteen firefighters from Alresford and Alton were called to the fire, which lasted from 7.35pm to 8.20pm.
Firecrews spent a further two hours damping down the building.
