St Paul’s Cathedral is one of the most famous buildings in the world, and it is also one of the greatest survivors!When old St Paul’s was built in the time of William the Conqueror, stone from Northern France was used and it was much taller and wider than it is today. During the reign of King Henry VIII there were financial problems. Parts of the cathedral were destroyed and a market place was set up inside selling bread, meat, fish and beer!Elizabeth I granted money to the cathedral for repairs and an architect was appointed. Inigo Jones cleared out the shops and market place ready for repairs. However it fell into decay again when soldiers used it as barracks during the Civil War.Christopher Wren, the cathedral’s final architect, was asked to restore it. Before he could make much progress, parts of it were destroyed by the Great Fire of London, which started in a baker’s shop in Pudding Lane and raged for five days, destroying many of the buildings in the City.Christopher Wren started once more with a magnificent vision of St Paul’s and the rest of the City. All this in spite of the fact that he was more of a scientist and hadn’t actually built or designed anything until he was 30 years old. He laid the foundation stone for the cathedral in 1675 and 35 years later he set the final stone in place. When he died he was buried in his own magnificent building.The clock tower on the West Side has the bell known as Great Paul. At three metres in diameter, it is the heaviest swinging bell in the country. Of course there is the famous dome and the cross on top is 365 feet from ground. It is the second largest cathedral dome in the world. Only §t Paul’s in Rome is bigger.Why not pay St Paul’s a visit? One feature you will find interesting is the Whispering Gallery, where you can whisper at one wall, and then hear your voice on the opposite wall 107 feet away
