Description
Part of the Craftsman’s Art and Music’s Measure lecture series in commemoration of the tercentenary of the topping out ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral when the last stone was put in place.
St Paul’s is the masterpiece of Britain’s most admired architect, Gresham Professor Sir Cristopher Wren, who worked with Gresham Professor Robert Hooke to build one of the world’s best-loved buildings. Work commenced in 1675 and the final stone was laid on 20 October 1708, Sir Christopher’s 76th birthday. Information about the 300th anniversary restoration programme can be found at www.stpauls.co.uk.
