"Students at a Cambridgeshire school have voted to remove 17th-century diarist Samuel Pepys' name from one of its houses. That comes after research highlighting his abusive and exploitative behaviour towards women. Pepys House is one of five houses at Hinchingbrooke School, each named after historical figures with strong local connections. Mr Pepys was a naval administrator who was famed for documenting the Great Plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of London of 1666 in his diary."
A news outlet solicits donations to fund reporters covering reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech investigations, avoids paywalls, and advocates that quality journalism be paid for by those who can afford it. Students at a Cambridgeshire school voted to remove 17th-century diarist Samuel Pepys' name from one of its five houses after recent research revealed harmful, abusive and exploitative behaviour toward women.

The school held a consultation, a majority of students voted to rename, and the school will develop a shortlist of alternative figureheads.
