Wednesday 22 May | 10.30 – 1.00 | St Mary-le-Bow, St Mary Aldermary, St Stephen’s Walbrook and St Mary Woolnoth

The calamitous Great Fire of London, which destroyed much of the old medieval city, heralded a unique opportunity to rebuild London as a grand European capital. Architects Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor were the key players in this new kind of urban planning. Through the revolutionary English Baroque style of their City churches we will learn about one of the most fascinating architectural visions in European history.

We will visit the following churches: St Mary-le-Bow steeple (Wren), St Mary Aldermary (Wren), St Stephen’s Walbrook (Wren), and St Mary Woolnoth (Hawksmoor).
