Great Fire of Warwick
The Great Fire of Warwick was a major conflagration that swept through the small town of Warwick, England, beginning at 2:00 p.m. on 5 September 1694 and lasting for six hours.The fire started from a spark from a torch that was being carried up High Street. The town’s small population, the close-packed nature of the environment, and the amount of combustible building material all lead to the fire’s start and spread, and the limited fire-fighting methods of the time helped transform the small torch fire into a catastrophic event.
== Damage ==
The Collegiate Church of St Mary, Warwick was severely damaged by the fire. The fire progressed through Castle Street, Market Street, and High Street until it was halted by the 0.5 metre thick stone walls of the building that is the Lord Leycester hotel on Jury Street. If the fire had not been stopped by the church and struck the suburbs, it would have burnt all the way to the edge of town. The original estimates had the financial damage totaling around ₤90,000-₤120,000 and the physical damage at around 250-460 houses, but later the Book of Estimates had the damage at 157 houses totaling between ₤40,000-₤60,000.
