LONDON’S GREAT FIRE  

IS RECALLED BY  

“THE MONUMENT,” LONDON  

LANDMARK  

ONE of the sights of London is the fluted  

Doric column known as Ã¢â‚¬Å“The Monu-  

ment,” which commemorates the Great Fire of  

1666.- It stands near Billingsgate Market, at  

the corner of Fish-street Hill and Monument-  

street.  

This great pillar of Portland stone, erected  

1671-1677 to the designs of Christopher Wren,  

is 202 ft. high and is the highest and finest  

column of its kind in the world. It is crowned  

with gilt flames instead of phoenix, which  

Wren had planned to place there as symbol  

of London’s resurgence from the ashes.  

The fire started 200 ft. distant at baker’s  

shop in Pudding-lane on the night of Septem-  

ber 2, 1666, and, fanned by strong wind, it  

raged through the city for three days consum-  

ing all before it. An inscription on the north  

side of the Monument records the fact that  

89 churches were destroyed in addition to the  

Guildhall, hospitals, schools and 13,200 houses.  

Of the 26 London wards, the fire completely  

destroyed 15 and the ashes of the fire covered  

an area of 438 acres. In helping the citizens  

to rebuild the city. King Charles II remitted  

their taxes and funds were raised for public  

works by duty on the import of coal to  

London.  

The building of the Monument was  

authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1671,  

and its erection was completed six years later.  

It was at first used by the Royal Society for  

astronomical purposes until vibration from  

traffic became too great for accurate  

observation.  

The Monument is 15ft. in diameter,  

hollow inside, and every year some 50,000  

people pay sixpence to climb the 345 steps  

which wind round the middle to the upper  

gallery, which provides magnificent view over  

London’s skyline. In the 18th-century the  

column was popular with suicides, five of  

whom fell to their death before the top was  

enclosed in cage.  

Near the Monument is the ancient Church  

of St. Magnus, notable for various reasons,  

but more particularly for its associations  

with Miles Coverdale, the great reformer,  

who spent many years of his life translating  

the Scriptures. On October 4, 1535, the first  

complete printed English version of the Bible  

was published under his direction.
