2:00pm – Meet near Monument Underground Station, London

Members joined architectural historian Canon Janet Gough OBE (1980) for a walking tour to discover the extraordinary genius of Sir Christopher Wren, as he rebuilds the City of London out of the disasters of the Black Death and Great Fire.

Starting at the Monument, with its royal propaganda, members visited several highly varied and ingenious Wren churches, ending at his masterpiece - domed St Paul's Cathedral, containing highlights of British Baroque while firmly rooted in the gothic tradition.
