The first step for those that unified was for the church wardens a warrant for rebuilding, signed by any two of the obtain to three commissioners under the Act. This was then taken to Wren at Whitehall, who was requested to prepare a design. Having more than likely visited the site, Wren would prepare a design, and contracts would then be made with masons, bricklayers, and carpenters. The three city surveyors would also have played an important part – Hooke, Oliver and Edward Woodroffe, Wren’s chief assistant. Only a few of the many surviving drawings are actually in Wren’s hand, with some by Hooke, a few by Woodroffe and many in the hand of Andrew Phillips, Wren’s clerk. Almost certainly, the designs for every church originated from Wren, but in many cases the working out and supervision was done by somebody else, which accounts for the considerable variations in quality of design from church to church and even between one part and another of the same church. Throughout 1670 and 1671, Wren must have been incredibly busy supervising the design of churches, for work commenced OPPOSITE Interior of on nearly twenty in those years.

These university buildings were designed by Wren as acts of friendship, not in any official professional capacity, and it is uncertain how he was rewarded, although more than likely in guineas or an honorific recognition.

Sir Christopher Wren (1632–1723) is now mostly remembered as a genius of architecture – but he was also an accomplished polymath. He was most famous as the mastermind behind the rebuilding of St Paul’s Cathedral and more than fifty parish churches after the Great Fire of London, among his countless other projects. Replete with colourful images of his buildings, this concise biography tells the story of a man whose creations are still popular tourist attractions to this day, but also casts light on Wren’s credentials as an intellectual and a founding member of the Royal Society.
