Introduction\nSamuel Pepys' life spanned a period of profound social change with momentous events such as Civil War, Restoration, Plague and Fire. Sociable and hard working he quickly rose to become secretary to the Navy Board. He enjoyed his spare time with music, food, drink, women, theatre & literature all featuring in his famous diary which he wrote between January 1660 and May 1669 in a form of shorthand. Pepys was curious about the natural world, scientific discoveries and the bustling city where he lived and worked. \n\nLife\nSamuel Pepys was born on 23 February 1633 in a house in Salisbury Court (site marked with a plaque) and was christened, as were his 8 brothers and sisters, in nearby St Bride's Church. He attended St Paul's School from which he played truant to watch the execution of Charles I in 1649. He left in 1650 and went to Cambridge until 1653. Pepys married Elizabeth St Michael, who was only 15, in December 1655 at St Margaret's Westminster. They went to live with a relative, Edward Montagu (later the Earl of Sandwich) for whom Pepys acted as secretary until 1657. \n\nIn March 1658 he underwent the unpleasant procedure of an operation for the removal of a kidney stone. By 1659 Pepys was working in the office of George Downing and living in Axe Yard, Westminster where he started writing his diary in January 1660. Later that year Pepys eventually secured the post of Clerk of the Acts to the Navy Board and saw the Restoration of Charles II to the throne. \n\nHe was chosen as a younger brother of Trinity House in 1661. His work took him to Greenwich where he spent time during the plaque year of 1665 whilst his wife stayed in Woolwich. The following year Pepys witnessed and recorded the Great Fire and was instrumental in saving the Navy Office and St Olave's Church by having nearby buildings pulled down. Fearful that he was losing his eyesight Pepys gave up writing his diary in May 1669. Later that year he and his wife travelled around France and Holland but Mrs Pepys, aged only 29, died of a fever on their return at a house in Crutched Friars. She was buried in St Olave's Church where Pepys erected a memorial to her. \n\nIn 1673 Pepys was appointed Secretary for the Affairs of the Navy until 1679 when he resigned, over unfounded charges of spying for the French. During this period he became Master of Trinity House (1676), Master of the Clothworker's Company (1677-8) and a member of the Honourable Artillery Company. In 1679 he went to live at 12 Buckingham Street (marked with a plaque) staying until 1688 when he moved to number 14 (until 1700). He was president of the Royal Society, a learned society for the promotion of natural sciences in 1684-6 and as Master of Trinity House in 1685 was responsible for drafting the charter granted by James II. He was then appointed Secretary of the Admiralty, a position he held until his retirement in 1689. In the summer of that year he was imprisoned in Westminster Gatehouse although he was quickly released due to ill health. \n\nIn 1690 he published 'Memoirs of the Navy' and became Treasurer of Christ's Hospital. Pepys went to live at the home of Mr Hewer (formerly his clerk) in 1700 at the Great House on the north side of Clapham Common. It was here that Pepys died on 26 May 1703 but he was buried in St Olave's on 5th June at 9pm as requested. His books were left to be passed on to Magdelene College Cambridge but the diary was not published until 1825.\n\nPlaces\n\nST OLAVE'S CHURCH Hart Street is a mainly 15th century building with a 13th century crypt. Built in a perpendicular style the brick top to the tower was added in 1732. Pepys referred to as 'our own church'. In 1660 the Navy Board put in its own gallery with access stairs (since removed but marked with a plaque). This was the site for a memorial to Pepys, designed by Alfred Blomfield and paid for by subscription, eventually put up in 1884. The church was dam
