If you ask someone from the UK for the name of an architect there’s a good chance they’ll say Christopher Wren. Best known for St. Paul’s Cathedral, and rebuilding after the 1666 Fire of London, designing over 50 churches.

Taken from London, ed. Charles Knight; Tufts has it in TEI XML but no download link i could find. Hah! I have the physical book to scan!

This is a 180 degree #vertorama of St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe - a #ChristopherWren church in the city. It's so-called because its first structure was by the Royal Wardrobe - where in 1361 Edward III moved his store for clothes and armour.

That burned down in the Great Fire, Christopher #Wren built the replacement. That was bombed, but restored and reopened in 1961.

I used a DIY 360 degree panorama mount on a tripod to hold an #Olympus EM1iii with a Laowa 7.5mm F2.

You've got to love Roach Stone - it's a facies (variety) of the famous Portland Stone (a Jurassic limestone) that many of the public buildings in London are built from. Christopher Wren made Portland Stone famous when he used it to build the new St Paul's Cathedral in London after the Great Fire. OK, so he had shares in the quarry...

The stone is full of fossil shells - the pointy ones are the famous 'Portland Screws'.
