About this Event

Christopher Wren’s Cathedral rose like a Phoenix from the flames of the Great Fire of 1666. The constant bombing of the City during World War II was sometimes called ‘The Second Great Fire of London’. So much was destroyed, so much disappeared. But St Paul’s still stands. This talk by City of London Guide & Lecturer and Cathedral Guide Jill Finch is about the bravery and commitment of those who defended St Paul’s throughout the war, preserving Wren’s baroque masterpiece on Ludgate Hill.

This event will be delivered both in-person and online.
