Who started the fire of London 1666?

Answer 1

It is believed that Thomas Farrinor started the great fire of London. It is said that he had left some bread on the windowsill to cool when he saw a young thief try to steal the bread. He turned suddenly, causing hot coals to spill on to the dry wooden floor. The floor caught fire, and as all the houses were wooden and close together, a fire could spread quickly and easily.

Answer 2

The Great Fire of London started in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane, London in 1666. There is no evidence that the fire was started deliberately, although, at the time, Roman Catholic dissidents were blamed for the fire.
