Christopher Wren's 300th (2023x34)

Data di messa in onda: Ago 27, 2023

The Rev Kate Bottley is in London to mark three hundred years since the death of one of Britain’s most talented and prolific architects, Sir Christopher Wren, who was charged with re-building 52 city churches after the Great Fire of London in 1666. Kate visits some of his early church 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.
