Thankfully nobody was hurt, but it appears that extensive damage has been caused to the historic house.

It is not known if the series – which recently began shooting its third season – will have its shooting schedule interrupted by the unfortunate incident. Certainly, it appears that extensive damage has been done to the U-shaped section of stone outbuildings which are adjoined to the main estate.
