The remains of 19th Century country house that was gutted by a blaze more than 30 years ago has been hit by fire again.

Plas Gwynfryn, at Llanystumdwy, near Criccieth, Gwynedd, was once the home of Conservative MP Hugh Ellis-Nanney but was destroyed by fire in 1982.

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said the ground floor of the derelict manor house was "well-alight".

Crews from Porthmadog, Nefyn and Pwllheli were called around 16:50 BST.

In 2011, the house was one of nine historic Welsh buildings whose heritage campaign group Save Britain's Heritage said were at risk of being lost.
