Old St. Paul's Cathedral

The author provides a concise architectural and historical account of the medieval cathedral in the City of London, detailing its construction, precincts, cloisters, and interior fittings while describing liturgical practice and ceremonial life. He follows chronological memories and events from earlier periods through the Tudor and Stuart eras to the church's eventual destruction, assesses the organization and services of the clergy, and reconstructs appearances by using surviving engravings, records, and archaeological notes. The work is arranged in focused chapters and is illustrated with plates that support its descriptive and documentary aims.
