About this book
Sir Christopher Wren: His Family and His Times is by Lucy Phillimore and comes with original letters and a discourse on architecture hitherto unpublished. The text says that on October 8, 1623, Dr. Wren’s diary records ‘we landed at Portsmouth,’ and his first and only journey out of Great Britain was over. A section headed Excavations says it has been truly said that the accounts of the building of S. Paul’s are meagre in the extreme.
The text says the Parentalia describes a row of Saxon graves, the sides lined with chalk stones, and that below were British graves, where were found ivory and wooden pins of a hard wood. A note says that fourteen churches, eleven of which were built by Wren, have been destroyed since 1781. A quoted note says S. Vedast is usually pictured with a bear.
