Chapter 2 of 'The British Insurance business, a guide to its history and
records' by H A L Cockerell and Edwin Green (Sheffield Academic Press, 2nd
edition 1994), outlines the development of fire insurance from the late 17th
century.

To All,
The quarter sessions(17th-century) records the petition concerning 'fire',
within which we found the
compensation like a fire insurance. Does anyone tell us when the English
fire insurance was first
institutionalized and why it was?
