The cause of the fire, which is now under control, is not yet known.A local resident described the moment he heard firefighters arrive at the scene after the blaze broke out. "I thought at the time there must have been some accident further down the road. I just got my coat on, came outside the front door and just noticed the church next door was just ablaze. It's terrible, the whole church was on fire - smoke everywhere. It's extremely sad because it's a very old church and it's ruined now."
