Sir Christopher Wren, famous Architect, was born in Wiltshire in 1632. After the Great Fire of London (1666) he prepared an abortive plan for rebuilding London, but he did in fact, rebuild St. Pauls, and more then fifty other city churches, including St. Stephen, Walbrook, and St. Mary-le-Bow.
His other works include Chelsea Hospital, portions of Greenwich Hospital, the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford and the Queens College Library, Oxford. He had wide spread scientific interests (He was professor of mathematics at Gresham College, London, and professor of astronomy at Oxford.) He also helped to Found the Royal Society.
For anyone interested in history, London is seeped with history, the above only being the tip of the iceberg. St Pauls Cathedral is one of the most popular visits for tourists, and a landmark that proudly stands out among all the other historical building. All the pictures we see of it, do not do it justice. To visit it, and see it up close for ourselves is an experience that will not be forgotton for a long time.
