London's St Paul’s Cathedral celebrates 300 historic years in 2008 [audio 12min @19:30]

As St Paul’s Cathedral celebrates its 300th birthday this year, writer Leo Hollis talks about the life of the building, reconstructed in the aftermath of the great Fire of London. He uncovers the history of the Cathedral by examining the lives of the men whose ideas and inventions helped to build it. The Phoenix: St Paul’s Cathedral and the Men Who Made Modern London is published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson (forthcoming in the USA as London Rising: The Men Who Made Modern London published by Walker & Company).
