ST.PAUL'S, OF LONDON, THE EMPIRE'S PARISH CHURCH  

TOWERING above London’s streaming traffic on Ludgate Hill is St. Paul’s,  

considered to be the finest Renaissance in Europe. It was the  

work of one man, Sir Christopher Wren. England's greatest architect, and it  

stands upon site first occupied by Christian church founded in the seventh  

century and endowed by Ethelbert, King of Kent. This was burned down in  

1087; its Norman successor was partly destroyed by fire in 1136 and Old  

St. Paul’s vanished in the flames of the Great Fire of 1666.  

An entirely new Cathedral was planned by Wren, and building commenced  

in the year 1675, during the reign of Charles 11. Hampered by authority and  

opposed by ignorance, he worked on it for thirty-five years in an atmosphere  

of bitterness and frustration and, in addition, had the greatest difficulty in  

getting his four pounds week for himself and the wages for his men. By  

the time the last stone was placed in position, by his son, in 1710, during the  

reign of Queen Anne, Christopher Wren was so feeble that he had to be  

carried to the top of his noble building in basket. Most of the Â£748,000  

spent on the Cathedral before the year 1723 was raised by tax on sea-borne  

coal entering London.  

The great dome, 112 feet in diameter and weighing 700 tons, is surmounted  

by ball and cross, the top of which is 365 feet from the ground. Within  

the dome is the famous Whispering Gallery, renowned for its power of  

carrying sound â€”a whisper will travel distance of hundred yards around  

the vast curve.  

St. Paul’s survived the Second World War only by miracle when enemy  

bombs devastated the surrounding area. It received two direct hits and stood  

in danger of total destruction until the removal of two unexploded time-bombs  

which had penetrated the foundations. When the dust and smoke had  

cleared away, Londoners saw their great Cathedral in new setting, rising  

majestically from the rubbled ruins at its foot.
