"The large tree which was standing in the Old Rectory came down and smashed into the garage and house," neighbour Julian Rand was quoted as saying in a BBC article.
"The man wasn't injured by the falling tree, but was trapped."
The man, who was said to be in his 50s or 60s, was apparently freed using small handsaws and was taken to a nearby B&B.
