John Evelyn was another man who noticed the fire as it was blazing right before his eyes, and also noticed how the French and Dutch nations coincidentally entered the city of London as it was continuously falling apart. Additionally, he was one of the many men who created multiple plans of reconstruction for the city. This viewpoint of the fire was tremendously important because it revealed the many different sides of accusations made towards others and the effect it had on the people of London.

Samuel Pepys was a man who noticed the great fire and warned the King and the Duke of York of what he has seen. He was ordered to command Lord Mayor to spare no houses along the village in the city of London. This first-hand account was very important to our research because it revealed another man’s viewpoint on the entire situation involving the hierarchy.

The Great Fire of London destroyed 373 acres of the city, killed four people, and made thousands homeless.

This source was vital to our research because it tells us about the religious side of the fire.

In 1666, The Great Fire of London destroyed 80 percent of the city, burning down more than 13,000 buildings, leaving 100,000 people homeless. Lord Mayor Thomas Bloodworth was sure that the fire would last for three days destroying more than 400 streets in London. Houses were burned, buildings were being destroyed, and many churches were gone. This book helped me get a background of what had happened during the Great Fire of London.

It cleared up everything and gave us great insight on the accusation.

The Great Fire of London broke out on September 2, 1666 in a bakeshop. Many attempts to stop the fire were unsuccessful and the only way the fire was stopped was by taking down buildings. The fire lasted for three days and destroyed 80% of London, which lead to a expensive reconstruction of many buildings and streets. This website was very useful because it gave more background information as to how the fire started, gave accurate values of destruction/death, and it gave the reader more information about the aftermath of the fire.

The great fire of London started in September 1666, it was the second tragedy London had in a year, they were barley getting over the Great Plague when the fire started. It started on Pudding Lane in a baker’s shop owned by Thomas Farriner. He was the king’s baker because his maid would never turn on the ovens at night when he needed them. The king later on ran away and that made him look really guilty.
