“ In the year remembered as the date of the Great Fire of London, 1666, on the 29th day of the preceding month of May, he married Sara Palliart, widow of the late pasteur Jaques Felles. He married, secondly, 25th April 1677, Judith, daughter of Daniel Du Prie, and had by her a son, Daniel, baptized 14th December 1681. ”

“ From 1628 to 1642 one of their pasteurs was a Canon of Windsor, and perhaps obtained for them more permanent tenure. Or, the congregation may have received more liberal terms in order to induce them to rebuild the church after the fire. For these conjectures, however, no one but myself is responsible.
The Great Fire of London broke out on 2nd September 1666, and continued during four days and four nights. The French Church in Threadneedle Street was destroyed. The Dutch refused to contribute to the building of a new church. ”

“ New streets required to be constructed, and the French Church must be pulled down. In April 1840 the city of London bought it; a jury valued the leasehold interest at £2000, and the freehold at 1977, the congregation retaining the carving and the interior fittings. The pasteur, Paul Charles Baup, preached the last sermon within the venerated building in the year 1842. A new church was built in St. Martin’s-le- Grand, and was consecrated by the pasteurs, Francois Martin and W. G. Daugars. ”
