Many important buildings, including All Hallows Church, were destroyed in the fire. As the fire happened so soon after the Great Fire of London, King Charles II felt empathy for the town and contributed wood to help with the rebuild. Hazelrigg House is one of the few pre-fire houses remaining in the town centre.
