On June 29, 1613, The Globe Theatre burned down during a performance of Shakespeare's Henry VIII. Sparks or wadding that flew from a cannon used during the production ignited a thatched roof of the gallery, resulting in the fire. The theater was rebuilt with a tile roof and reopened a year later. The second Globe was torn down about 1644.
The remains of the Globe Theatre in London were discovered in 1989.
No-one burnt the Globe theatre down, sparks (from a cannon used in a performance of King Henry VIII) collided with the thatched roof of the Globe. The result was the Globe burning down in under 2 hours. No-one died and there were no major injuries. The Globe theatre was rebuilt in less than a year. Hope this helped!
