  • Wren and the English Baroque
    What is English Baroque? • An architectural style promoted by Christopher Wren (1632-1723) that developed between the Great Fire (1666) and the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). It is associated with the new freedom of the Restoration following the Cromwell’s puritan restrictions and the Great Fire of London provided a blank canvas for architects. In France the repeal of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 revived religious conflict and caused many French Huguenot craftsmen to move to England. • In total Wren built 52 churches in London of which his most famous is St Paul’s Cathedral (1675-1711). Wren met Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) in Paris in August 1665 and Wren’s later designs tempered the exuberant articulation of Bernini’s and Francesco Borromini’s (1599-1667) architecture in Italy with the sober, strict classical architecture of Inigo Jones. • The first truly Baroque English country house was Chatsworth, started in 1687 and designed by William Talman. • The culmination of English Baroque came with Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) and Nicholas Hawksmoor (1661-1736), Castle Howard (1699, flamboyant assemble of restless masses), Blenheim Palace (1705, vast belvederes of massed stone with curious finials), and Appuldurcombe House, Isle of Wight (now in ruins). Vanburgh’s final work was Seaton Delaval Hall (1718, unique in its structural audacity). Vanburgh was a Restoration playwright and the English Baroque is a theatrical creation. In the early 18th century the English Baroque went out of fashion. It was associated with Toryism, the Continent and Popery by the dominant Protestant Whig aristocracy. The Whig Thomas Watson-Wentworth, 1st Marquess of Rockingham, built a Baroque house in the 1720s but criticism resulted in the huge new Palladian building, Wentworth Woodhouse, we see today.

  • Samuel Pepys Describes the Great Fire of London
    1 Primary Source 9.5 SAMUEL PEPYS DESCRIBES THE FIRE OF LONDON (1666)1 In a diary kept from 1659 to 1669, a naval administrator and member of parliament named Samuel Pepys recounted the events of the Great Fire of London. The fire began at a bakery on Pudding Lane on September 2, 1666, and raged for three days, burning down over 13,000 houses and many buildings. After the fire, many financiers began to apply insurance policies to the danger of fire, modeled after marine-insurance which financial risk was dispersed amongst investors. It was another way of which Europeans spread risk and took advantage of experience gained from financial partnerships and joint-stock companies. For the text online, click here. 2nd (Lord’s day).2.—Some of our mayds sitting up late last night to get things ready against our feast to-day, Jane called us up about three in the morning, to tell us of a great fire they saw in the City. So I rose and slipped on my night-gown, and went to her window, and thought it to be on the back side of Marke-lane3 at the farthest; but, being unused to such fires as followed, I thought it far enough off; and so went to bed again and to sleep. About seven rose again to dress myself, and there looked out at the window, and saw the fire not so much as it was and further off. So to my closet4 to set things to rights after yesterday’s cleaning. By and by Jane comes and tells me that she hears that above 300 houses have been burned down to-night by the fire we saw, and that it is now burning down all Fish-street, by London Bridge.

  • Today We Will Be... Finding out About the Events of the Great Fire of London
    The Great Fire of London Today we will be... Finding out about the events of the Great Fire of London. www.planbee.com In the summer of 1665 a terrible disease killed lots of people in London. This disease was known as the Great Plague. Nobody knew at the time how it started but it was probably spread by fleas. Nearly a quarter of all the people in London died. Just when London was recovering from the Great Plague, another disaster hit London...the Great Fire. www.planbee.com Where did the Great Fire start? The fire started in Pudding Lane in London. This picture shows The Monument. If you laid it down, it would reach the exact spot the fire started - in Thomas Farriner’s bakery. www.planbee.com How did the Great Fire start? Thomas Farriner was a baker who lived and worked in Pudding Lane in London. He baked for the king. His wife had died in the Great Plague but he and his family were starting to get back to their normal lives. On Sunday 2nd September 1666, Thomas put out the fire in his oven as usual but a few embers were left lit. By 2 o’clock in the morning, his bakery and home was on fire. Thomas and his family had to climb out of a window and onto a neighbour’s roof to escape. Sadly, his maid did not escape and was the first victim of the fire. www.planbee.com The fire spread quickly. In another part of London, Samuel Pepys was woken by his servant in the early hours and they watched the fire spreading from the window.

  • The Pope As Arsonist and Christian Salvation: Peter Causton's Londini
    Gesine Manuwald The Pope as Arsonist and Christian Salvation: Peter Causton’s Londini Conflagratio: Carmen 2016 saw the 350th anniversary of the so-called Fire of London in 1666, which destroyed much of the city centre during a major conflagration from 2 to 6 Sep- tember 1666.1 Although according to official records the loss of life was minimal (rather surprising in view of a fire of that scale),2 there was initially a great risk to life; the destruction of buildings was enormous, and this essentially wiped out medieval London. Particularly because the Fire was such a serious incident, in- vestigations into its causes were launched not long afterwards, and various the- ories began to appear. The modern view, which can already be found in letters and diary entries of contemporary eyewitnesses,3 is that the Fire started in the bakery of Thomas Farrinor in Pudding Lane (near London Bridge); presumably the fire in the oven had not been fully extinguished overnight, though the baker denied that. At any rate, the blaming of scapegoats soon started, especially in the context of a difficult political and religious situation, including the Anglo-Dutch Wars (the second of which was only concluded by the Treaty of Breda in 1667) and continuous tensions between Protestants and Roman Catholics.4 Thus, one �� 1 An account of the Fire is provided e.g. in Porter 1996; a more narrative description is offered by Weiss 2012. A collection of extracts from contemporaries, illustrating the spread of the Fire, reactions to it and the stages of the rebuilding of the city, can be found in Milne 1986; an overview and discussion of how the space of London is presented in a variety of documents dealing with the destruction and rebuilding is given in Wall 1998.

  • At 1A.M. on Sunday September 2Nd 1666 a Fire Broke out at Thomas Farriner’S Bakery in Pudding Lane, He Was the Baker for King Charles II
    At 1a.m. on Sunday September 2nd 1666 a fire broke out at Thomas Farriner’s bakery in Pudding Lane, he was the baker for King Charles II. The bakers maid forgot to put out the ovens at the end of the night. The heat created by the ovens caused sparks to ignite the wooden bakery building. She tried to escape but couldn’t. By Monday 3rd September, the fire had spread very quickly. The city was basically made out of wood, all of the houses were built from wood. Because September isn’t too long after summer, the city was very dry. Strong winds fanned the flames which made them spread even quicker. This area was close to the river and there were lots of warehouses and shops full of combustible (easily set on fire) materials, such as oil, coal, timber, and alcohol. Once these caught fire a strong wind spread the flames into the City. People tried to get away from the fire by hiring boats. These people could only take the things they were able to carry so a lot of their belongings were left behind. In those times there was no fire brigade so people tried to put the fire out with buckets of water. It didn’t really do much good because they couldn’t carry the water quick enough. On Tuesday 4th September 1666 the fire was so hot that St. Paul’s cathedral caught on fire and the lead on the roof melted. Eventually, after four days the fire ended on Wednesday 4th September 1666 because the wind changed direction and lots of the houses were pulled down to stop it spreading further.

  • The Great Fire of London
    The Great Fire of London In the 1600s in the city of London, some people expected there to be a fire because: • houses were built very close together; • buildings were made from timber; • it had been a long hot summer so water reserves were low and everything was very dry. At that time, there was also a terrible disease called the plague. This was a disease that very few people survived. In fact, in the two years before the fire, around 68 000 people had died from it. Sunday 2nd September 1666 The fire began in a bakery on Pudding Lane. The bakery belonged to Thomas Farriner, who was the king’s baker. The bakery was near London Bridge. This bridge was the only one across the River Thames in London. The bakery workmen woke to the smell of smoke at 2 o'clock in the morning. Everyone in the house escaped except a maid, who was too scared to move. She sadly died in the fire. The fire took hold very quickly, and spread very fast through the city (just as some people had predicted). Here are some of the reasons why the fire spread so quickly: • buildings were too close together; • buildings were made from timber and tar; • everything was dry after the hot summer; • there was a strong wind that fanned the flames along the rows of buildings. Samuel Pepys Samuel Pepys, a man famous for writing newspaper articles and diaries, lived near the Tower of London. He saw the fire heading west and went to see King Charles to warn him of the dangers.

  • The Great Fire of London Is a Favourite National Curriculum Teaching Topic
    THEThe GREAT Great FIRE OF LONDON Fire [700 words of - 2London sides] Karin Doull - Karin Doull Introduction The Great Fire of London is a favourite National Curriculum teaching topic. This paper draws on the latest resources and teaching ideas to suggest how you can meet both the NC history requirements and the wider ones of the National Curriculum, particularly in integrated programmes that include teaching about the Great Fire of London. We begin with the historical background that provides an essential reference frame for teaching the subject. This leads in to a detailed account of the teaching of one of its sessions, resources and a scheme of work. The final elements are a teacher’s account of teaching The Great Fire through dance, Dos and Dont’s and What the co-ordinator might do.
