Martin Stancliffe: St. Paul's Cathedral at 300
2011 is the 300th anniversary of the completion
of Christopher Wren's Cathedral in the City of London. This coincides with the completion of
an historic 40 million programme of cleaning and repair, in which the building has been comprehensively restored inside and out. Now that the final scaffolding has been removed, the two million visitors and worshippers who come toSt
Paul's each year can witness Gresham Professor
Christopher Wren's original vision, see his cathedral as fresh as the day it was completed and understand something of the changes it has undergone in its first 300 years.
Martin Stancliffe,
the architect of the recent refurbishments, gives an expert tour of the building, the renovations and the problems encountered along the way which are unique to a building of this age and grandeur.
