‘Sir Christopher Wren, in St. Stephen's, Walbrook, London (1872[ce]), with its multiple changing views and spatial & structural complexity, presents English Baroque in its characteristic restrained but intricate form.

Wren's greatest achievement, St. Paul's Cathedral, London (1675-1711), owes much to French & Italian examples of the Baroque period, but the plan shows a remarkable adaptation of the traditional English cathedral plan to Baroque spatial uses (Figure 77).*
