- The Great Fire of 1666. Great swathes of London were reduced to rubble, including its cathedral. The idea of a replacement at such a moment of catastrophe was inconceivable for many. However, young architect Sir Christopher Wren - a ‘great geometric genius’ - not only imagined a new cathedral, but also a plan for the new city.
In this talk, Art Historian Sandy Nairne tours the resplendent architecture of St Paul’s. Discover the extraordinarily complex feats of engineering Wren devised in order to erect the church’s iconic - and significantly weighty - dome; all the while attempting to create a sense of open, light and graceful space.
Wren’s edifice represented a new kind of openness for the many, and not just for the few. Over the centuries, St Paul’s has become the splendid focal point for many of our national sentiments.

If you think you already know the story of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, or if you have never read about it or even visited it, don't miss this stunning Video by HENI Talks about one of the most spectacular feats of engineering, wonderfully toured by the British historian and curator, the former Director of the National Portrait Gallery, Sandy Nairne.
This great Documentary brought back wonderful memories of my trips to London. Thanks to all involved !!!
Thanks for your kind feedback, Mia. So nice to hear you enjoyed the film.
What's the title of that hymn?
It's 'I vow to thee, my country' - originally a poem by Sir Cecil Spring Rice, set to music by Gustav Holst.
@@HENITalks Thank you so much. I really love this hymn
