Bedsearcher's Guide to St Paul's Cathedral

St Paul's Cathedral

St Paul's Cathedral is a magnificent building designed by Sir Christopher Wren, (1632-1723). Wren was employed by the King in 1668 to survey St Paul's Cathedral after the Great Fire of London in 1666 but, instead of surveying the damage, he ordered the entire Cathedral to be demolished and rebuilt. St Paul's Cathedral was a symbol of hope during World War II when it stood undamaged amongst hundreds of surrounding bomb-blasted buildings.
