Firefighters have worked through the night to tackle a fire at a historic Cotswold pub.

Crews were called to The Churchill Arms in Paxford shortly before 3am.

They found a fully developed fire involving the roof space of the 17th century building.

Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service's investigation team are now in attendance to determine the cause of the blaze.

A spokesperson said: "We were called to a fire at the Churchill Arms in Paxford at 2.38am, and are still in attendance at the scene.

"Four fire engines have been sent from Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh and Stow-on-the-Wold, with support sent from Cheltenham.

"A water tower has also been sent to the scene.

"Two hose reels, a jet, and breathing apparatus have been used to fight the fire.

"One man has been evacuated from the property."

Located just outside Chipping Campden, The Churchill Arms is one of the district's most highly regarded gastropubs.

Chef and owner Nick Deverell-Smith has previously worked alongside some of the country's most renowned chefs, including Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre-White.
