AN application has been submitted for the repair of a 16th Century house at Naunton, near Upton.

Applicants Mr and Mrs B Lloyd have applied to Malvern Hills District Council for listed building consent to repair Sideways, after a fire in October last year.

The blaze started after ashes left in a bucket outside the house set fire to bags of wood nearby.

The windows of the building need to be replaced and the structure of the house rebuilt.
