Architects
With Peggy Reynolds.
Christopher Wren never meant to be an architect. He was well established as a mathematician and astronomer when Gilbert Sheldon persuaded him to design a building for university ceremonies. He went on to design works such as the Royal Hospital in Greenwich, the apartments at
Hampton Court, and, after the Great Fire of London, the new St Paul's
Cathedral. Including excerpts from: Handel Utrecht Te Deum
