Description
The Golden Boy of Pye Corner is a late 19th-century building that has undergone significant alterations. It is listed primarily for its late 17th-century carved and painted figure of a naked boy on a bracket, which is set into the return wall to Cock Lane. This figure was erected to commemorate the spot where The Great Fire of London was finally extinguished in 1666. Originally, the figure had wings and featured an inscription on its breast and arms that read, "This boy is in memory put up for the late Fire of London occasioned by The Sin of Gluttony, 1666."
