Best known for designing and building St Paul's Cathedral, Christopher Wren was the greatest architect Britain has ever known. But he was so, so much more! He was an astronomer first, he was fascinated by meteorology and he loved anatomy. He also ran the nation's biggest architectural office with all its petty jealousies and political challenges, and ran it well through six different, complex monarchs. He was also the first architect in history to actually see a cathedral through from start to completion. We also know that he found the mouse, but did he ever find "the cat"?
Join Keith as he answers this question and many more. He is joined by Professor Adrian Tinniswood, author of, "His Invention So Fertile: A Life of Christopher Wren."
