Christopher Wren's 300th

BBC One - Songs of Praise, Christopher Wren's 300th

The Rev Kate Bottley explores churches in London designed by Sir Christopher Wren.

Three hundred years after the death of Sir Christopher Wren, the Rev Kate Bottley is in London to explore some of the city churches designed by this master architect.

The Rev Kate Bottley is in London to mark 300 years since the death of one of Britain’s most talented and prolific architects, Sir Christopher Wren, who was charged with rebuilding 52 city churches after the Great Fire of London in 1666. 

Kate visits some of his early designs, while Gemma Hunt joins a group of children who are spending the day at one of his churches. And we meet a prayer group, who continue to find a place of worship and meditation at one of Wren’s churches in the middle of the busy capital city. 

With music from some of Wren’s most iconic landmarks, including St Paul’s Cathedral and the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich.
