Thomas Farriner (sometimes written as Faynor or Farynor; c. 1615 – 20 December 1670) was an English baker and churchwarden[1] in 17th century London. Allegedly, his bakery in Pudding Lane was the source point for the Great Fire of London on 2 September 1666.[2][3]

Career

Farriner joined the Baker's Company in 1637, and had his own shop by 1649.[4] By the time of the Great Fire of London, Thomas Farriner was a well-known baker in the City of London, who provided bread for the Royal Navy during the Anglo-Dutch war.[5]

Great Fire of London

Main article: Great Fire of London

In the early hours of 2 September 1666, Farriner was awakened by smoke coming under the door of his bedroom. Downstairs in his bakery in Pudding Lane, the fire had started and his house had caught fire. Farriner, with his daughter, managed to escape out of an upstairs window. His maid, however, refused to follow them out of the window because she was frightened of falling into the street. She eventually died in the fire and was the first victim of the Great Fire of London.

After the fire, he rebuilt his business in Pudding Lane. He and his children signed the Bill falsely accusing Frenchman Robert Hubert of starting the fire.

Farriner died in 1670, aged 54–55, slightly over four years after the Great Fire of London.

Thomas Farriner and his daughter are featured characters in the 2016 musical Bumblescratch.[6]

Andrew Buchan played Farriner in the 2014 TV series The Great Fire (TV series).[7]

In the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan, Farriner is mentioned (written as "Faynor") as being a demigod son of Hephaestus. In the series, he was said to be the last child of Hephaestus to be able to create and control fire before Leo Valdez, one of the main protagonists in the series, and that his inability to control his gift was what started the great fire.[8]

Study of the rates of chemical reactions Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the branch of physical chemistry that is concerned with understanding the rates of chemical reactions. It is different from chemical thermodynamics, which deals with the direction in which a reaction occurs but in itself tells nothing about its rate. Chemical kinetics includes investigations of how experimental conditions influence the speed of a chemical reaction and yield information about the re...
