LONDON needed rebuilding after the great fire of 1666. Eighty-eight
churches had been destroyed and a grand plan to rebuild them was
started by Sir Christopher Wren. In the end, he designed fifty-one
new churches and the splendour that is St Paul's Cathedral. Of the
fifty-one churches, many have been lost, either to a combination of
Victorian indifference, fire, subsidence or German bombs. Twelve
Wren City churches survive in their original form, while many of
the remaining churches have been rebuilt or substantially altered.
Wren left an amazing legacy and John Christopher takes us on a tour
of the churches, showing them as built and showing us a comparison
scene of today.
