EspañolGREAT FIRE OF WARWICK
The 'Great Fire of Warwick' was a major conflagration that swept through the town of Warwick, England, beginning at 2:00 p.m. on September 5, 1694 and lasting for six hours. It started from a spark of a torch that was being carried up High Street.
The Collegiate Church of St Mary, Warwick was severely damaged by the fire. Progress of the fire along Jury Street was halted by the 0.5 metre thick stone walls of the building that as of 2006 is the Lord Leycester Hotel.
