Valentine Knight

After the Great Fire, Valentine Knight submitted his plans for rebuilding the city of London to King Charles II, although they were never adopted. Knight's plans called for a layout which emphasized reorganization of building plots above reorganization of the street layouts advocated by Christopher Wren and John Evelyn.

Knight's plan called for the construction of a toll canal which would fund the further reconstruction of London. Charles was incensed that Knight suggested he “draw a benefit to himself from so public a calamity of his people” – and had Knight briefly thrown in jail.

Before the Fire, Knight was one of those nominated to be Knight of the Royal Oak.
