Lawrence Weaver profiles Sir Christopher Wren, the astronomer turned architect who rebuilt London after the Great Fire and crowned it with St Paul's Cathedral. It traces his genius across science and design. A fine study for anyone drawn to architecture, the Restoration, and the man who reshaped the skyline of London.
