Miscellaneous seems to be a rather understated heading for this but I can't find another more appropriate one.

The link is to a news item on the devastation caused by a fire at All Saints Church, Fleet:

From the photographs, destruction of everything combustible would appear to be more or less complete. NPOR indicates a substantial two manual organ:

According to the report, a 17 year old has been arrested and bailed. Another sad reflection on our times it would seem.

It is indeed a tragedy, I simply cannot understand what would motivate someone to do this.
