There were no significant injuries
A fire in Stokenham has destroyed four residential homes and The Tradesman's Arms - a 14th century pub.
Other than minor smoke inhalation, there were no significant injuries, confirm police. The A379 was temporarily closed, but has since reopened.
Staff at The Tradesman's Arms posted a short statement on Facebook: "As you may be aware, we suffered a major fire last night which has devastated the pub.
"We are currently trying to contact all our booked B&B guests and diners. Please bear with us."
