Come along on Sunday 6th September at 1:30pm for a guided walk around the City on the churches that were built by Sir Christopher Wren.
About the walk
I will be guiding you around the City of London to see and go inside some of the churches that were built by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London in 1666. I will talk about Wren himself, his two assistants; Nicholas Hawksmoor and Robert Hooke, each church's architecture, it's history, the churches that were here before 1666, the Great Fire of London and the damage done during the Blitz of WW2. Hopefully we will be able to go inside a few to view them from inside.
Christopher Michael Wren (1632 - 1723), was born in East Knoyle, Wiltshire and is one of the most highly acclaimed English architects in history. He was accorded responsibility for rebuilding 52 churches in the City of London after the Great Fire in 1666, including his masterpiece, St. Paul's Cathedral, on Ludgate Hill. Other notable buildings by Wren include the Royal Naval College in Greenwich, and the south front of Hampton Court Palace.
The guided walk will be led by myself.
The walk lasts about 2 hours and finishes near St. Paul's Cathedral.
