History – Cycle 3 – Claritas Classical Academy Memory Work

Week 10 – Thomas Farrinor, who was Charles II’s baker, accidentally started the great fire of London. He failed to notice his oven was on fire when he went to bed. What a burden he must have carried the rest of his life. In the link listed below, it was funny to read:

“In 1986, London’s bakers finally apologized to the lord mayor for setting fire to the city. Members of the Worshipful Company of Bakers gathered on Pudding Lane and unveiled a plaque acknowledging that one of their own, Thomas Farrinor, was guilty of causing the Great Fire of 1666.”

I pray you are doing well on your memory work. ~Laura
