The great fire of London was started by a man named Thomas Farriner (or Farynor). One night Thomas started the fire to cook the bread and he went upstairs forgetting about the fire. The fire latched onto the straw which set the whole house on fire and in those days the houses were all close together so the fire spread. This started the Great Fire of London.
It started on 2nd September when some coal fell out of a bakers oven on to some straw
