TheBythams was shocked by the news that an arsonist had attacked the home of an elderly couple, Peter and Sylvia Cox, in Castle Bytham during the early hours of Wednesday morning (4 May 2011). From comments already made in the May issue of the Glenside News, which Peter has edited for a number of years, this was the fourth of a series of similar incidents at the house. The Stamford Mercury report also suggests that this is not the only house in the village experiencing the same mindless activity. Hopefully Lincolnshire Police will bring those responsible to justice at the earliest opportunity.
