We have just passed the 300th anniversary of the death of the great thinker, inventor and architect Christopher Wren, who died 300 years ago in 1723 and you may know that there have been many walks and exhibits  on the subject, during 2023, largely taking place in the City.

Only three Wren Churches were built in Westminster  but there is a surprising  amount of  other Wren work in Westminster, not always very obvious but never the less of interest, especially as Wren was in a position of power and influence as the King’s chief architect for many years at a time of great political and religious turmoil.

This walk with experienced guide Barbara Wright seeks to give a nuanced take on Wren which leads you beyond a tour of churches and delves into his character, what inspired him and how he was affected by the times he lived in.
