About this Item

Hardback. First Edition. Slight foxing to edge. Signed and dated by the author to title page. St. Paul's Cathedral occupies a unique place in the heritage of England. it is London's own cathedral with a history that reaches back to the beginning of Christianity in the country. After the Great Fire of 1666 which totally destroyed the great medieval church, the Cathedral was rebuilt to the designs of Sir Christopher Wren - an enduring testament to the Glory of God and to the architectural genius of Wren. Miraculously St. Paul's survived the bombs of the Second World War which scored direct hits, and its splendour as a building in no way diminishes its prime function as a place of worship. There are numerous plates in full colour as well as black and white illustrations. it makes a fitting souvenir of a visit to one of the world's greatest churches. Illustrated. Illustrated laminated boards. 48 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
