A FARMER has vowed to rebuild a £200,000 barn that arsonists with a grudge against him are thought to have destroyed at Two Mile Oak, Abbotskerswell.

Paul Gammin is not ruling out the suspicion that 'fatheads' opposed to his ambitious plans for a £12.5 million solar panel facility at the Rydon Farm Equestrian Centre are behind the disaster.

More than 40 firefighters spent all of Thursday night and Friday morning last week tackling the blaze which sent up massive plumes of smoke which could be seen for miles around as dawn broke.
