The Fire The fire started on the night of the 2nd of September 1666 in a house that belonged to Thomas Farynor. He was the king’s official baker. One night, Thomas finished work and prepared to leave. However, this time he forgot to put the fire in his oven out. Later that night, the embers set light to some wood that was nearby. By one o’clock in the morning, three hours after Thomas had gone to bed, the house and shop were well alight. Thomas woke to find the house full of smoke and escaped with his wife, daughter and maid. They went through an upstairs window, then onto the roof, however, the poor maid was too frightened because it was so high and she stayed in the house, becoming the first victim of the fire. As Thomas was leaving the fire was getting worse and worse.

London 1666 At the time, London was “perfect” for burning. The houses were in narrow streets and the buildings were practically on top of one another. Also, tar was often used to build the houses and this burned wonderfully. To make matter worse, a strong wind blew that morning and the fire spread rapidly. Things got especially bad when the fire reached Thames Street where there were lots of warehouses full of flammable materials such as oil, alcohol, straw and coal.

“A woman might piss it out!” The Fire Burns The man in charge of dealing with the fire was Mayor Budworth. At first he didn’t take the fire very seriously, and apparently said the infamous words: “A woman might piss it out!”

The Fire Burns He went back to sleep, but was woken up shortly afterwards to find that the fire was getting serious. And by this time it was all too late. His advisers suggested destroying houses to create fire breaks. The Lord Mayor was initially concerned about who would pay for this deliberate damage. However, the king thought this was a good idea and ordered gangs of volunteers to blow up houses to stop the advancing fires. Unfortunately, the results weren’t very affective as the fire raged for three more days through the City. The fire eventually burned out at Temple Church near Holborn Bridge. Then, just when everyone thought it was safe, the fire suddenly flared up again.

Pepys’ View Our best account of the Fire comes from the diaries of Samuel Pepys. He was an important person at the time ( the Secretary of the Admiralty) and he watched the destruction from a safe position across the Thames. “It made me weep to see it,” he said. “The churches, houses, and all on fire and flaming at once. And a horrid noise the flames made, and the cracking of houses.”

Pepys’ View Here are some more of Pepys impressions: “Poor people staying in their houses till the very fire touched them, and then running into boats, or clambering from one pair of stairs by the waterside to another. And among other things, the poor pigeons. They were loath to leave their houses, and hovered about the windows and balconies till some of them burned their wings and fell down.

The Cost The fire destroyed much of medieval London; and within 5 days the city which Shakespeare had known had ceased to exist. The destruction included 87 churches (including St. Paul’s Cathedral), 13.200 houses and 6 people (officially). The fire also destroyed goods and possessions worth many millions of pounds. In total, 80% of the city was destroyed. Some people lost everything, and over the following years thousands of people went to prison because they could no longer pay their bills.

St. Paul’s ruins

The Benefit However, there is a positive side to all this. The fire also put an end to the Great Plague. This disease was carried by rats and most of them were killed in the fire. The number of plague victims dropped rapidly after the fire.

The Monument There’s construction commemorating the fire that you can visit. It’s called the Monument and it’s a 70 meter column. The architect Sir Christopher Wren proposed putting a statue of Charles II on top, but Charles objected as he didn’t want to be associated with the disaster. In the end, Sir Christopher Wren put a simple bowl with flames coming out of it.
