Police are still investigating a fire that destroyed the Old Mill pub in Thorpe Marriott, Norfolk, in April.

Police are continuing their investigation into an arson attack that devastated the Old Mill pub in Thorpe Marriott, Norwich, at about 3.30am on 13 April. The fire forced the closure of the business and caused severe damage to both the pub and the flat where landlords Mark and Carol Wenn lived.

A man in his 30s was arrested later that month on suspicion of arson endangering life. However, no further action was taken against him by police. Norfolk Constabulary said that enquiries remain ongoing.

In a statement following the fire, the Wenns called it a 'serious firebomb attack' and said the extent of the damage meant they had been unable to live at the property. They thanked the community for its support and said they were working with police on the investigation.
