Join us for a special service to celebrate the life of Sir Christopher Wren on the 300th anniversary of his death.

As part of Wren 300, the Worshipful Company of Chartered Architects and the Worshipful Company of Chartered Surveyors, in collaboration with the Worshipful Company of Constructors and the Worshipful Company of Paviors have organised a service to celebrate the life and work of Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723).

Wren is often described as Britain’s greatest architect, and St Paul’s Cathedral is his masterpiece of design - taking 35 years to build. His most famous buildings are at the centre of our national life and ceremonial occasions, and they include royal palaces, Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, the Royal Hospital Chelsea, and 52 churches built after the destruction caused by the Great Fire of London in 1666.

Wren began studying at Oxford University at the age of 17, and was already well known as an astronomer, mathematician and inventor before he became a self-taught architect in his thirties. He would go on to become Surveyor General to six British monarchs.
