The Craftsman's Art and Music's Measure

A series in commemoration of the 300th anniversary, tercentenary, of the topping out ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral, when the last stone was put in place.

St Paul's is the masterpiece of Britain's most admired architect, Gresham Professor Sir Christopher Wren, who worked with Gresham Professor Robert Hooke to build one of the world's best-loved buildings. Work commenced in 1675 and the final stone was laid on 20 October 1708, Sir Christopher's 76th birthday.
