Charles Fort Blue Plaque Unveiling

The new plaque commemorating Charles Fort’s seven-year sojourn in
London was unveiled on 39 Marchmont Street in Bloomsbury, on Saturday, 28 March
2015, by Lazzaro Pietragnoli, Mayor of Camden, and Paul Sieveking, founding
co-editor of Fortean Times, who together reached out of a window in
Fort’s sitting room and pulled a cord. Scott Wood, co-organiser of the London
Fortean Society, read the opening passage of The Book of the Damned and
Paul added a few comments about Fort’s view of the world. There were about 20
people there, including Ricci de Freitas, Chairman of the Marchmont Association,
which organized the creation of the new plaque, along with David V Barrett and
other members of the London Fortean Society, and FT’s art director Etienne
Gilfillan.
