Thomas Farriner
Thomas Farriner was a baker in 17th century London. His bakery in Pudding Lane was the source point for the Great Fire of London on 2 September 1666.
Farriner joined the Baker's Company in 1637, and had his own shop by 1649. 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. He was also a churchwarden.
Thomas Farriner and his children escaped the fire, but his maid died in the flames.
After the fire, he rebuilt his business in Pudding Lane. He and his children signed the Bill accusing Frenchman Robert Hubert of starting the fire.
Farriner died in 1670, slightly over 4 years after the fire.
