ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL

1. Read the text about St. Paul’s Cathedral; make sure you study the language of the text to be competent in further exercises and discussions.

St. Paul’s Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of London and the spiritual centre of the City, is Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece. He supervised its building from across the river, in a house from which he could watch his magnum opus arise on a prominent position at the top of Ludgate Hill. His mammoth achievement took 35 years to create beginning soon after the Fire of London in 1666 during which the older church – ravaged by the Parliamentary army in the 1650s – was finally destroyed.

The Cathedral, a fitting setting for the marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana in 1981, has the grandeur of scale with a nave 180 feet long and a height of 365 feet from the floor to the top of the cross. It also has artistic sensitivity, from Grinling Gibbons’ immaculate carvings to frescoes of scenes from the like of St. Paul painted by Sir James Thornhill on the inner dome.

The paintings can be seen from the Whispering Gallery 100 feet above floor level. St. Paul’s was the burial place of Wren, who died at the age of 91, having changed London’s skyline with some 50 exquisite churches. His tomb, one of the first in the Cathedral, is marked by a black marble slab in the crypt.

St.Paul’s is the resting place of Admiral Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington. While it has witnessed sombre funeral processions, the bell called Great Tom is generally only tolled for the deaths of members of the royal family, bishops of London, deans of St. Paul’s and the Lord Mayor of London, should he or she die in office.

The old churchyard is a public garden. Remnants of the medieval cloister are visible and a memorial marks the approximate site of St. Paul’s Cross, an open air pulpit where the Pope’s condemnation of Martin Luther was proclaimed in the Presence of Cardinal Wolsey. Near here some of the Gunpowder Plot conspirators were hanged, having failed to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

In more peaceful vein in Paternoster Square is Elizabeth Frink’s 1975 sculpture of a shepherd and sheep.
