Samuel Pepys

On Wednesday we had a very important visitor come and talk to us about his diaries and the Great Fire of London.

Samuel Pepys had to write a report for the king about the fire. Click on the pictures and you should be able to read them.

We asked him lots of things about what he knew about the Great Fire of London. We also asked him why he had an alarm clock, why he buried his cheese and why he wrote in code.

We found out that he wore a wig because he was secretly bald underneath!
