In the West End of London one can see the famous St .Paul's Cathedral, the masterpiece of the well-known English architect Christopher Wren. The old building of the Cathedral was sadly in need of repair and Christopher Wren was called on to carry out repairs and alterations, "but he was prevented from doing this by the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London that destroyed the old cathedral. Nearly eight years have passed after the fire befvre the ruins Of the Old bulldmg were Cleared away and the new work was begun. When Wren made a start, he picked out a stone from the heap of ruins and found on it a word in Latin which meant "I shall rise again". So he made that the first stone of the new Cathedral. That was on June21, 1675. It took him thirty-five years to build the Cathedral. All that time, while doing many other things besides, he laboured at this-his greatest work. He was very poorly paid. He didn't get his talways wages. But in spite of these difficulties all was splendidly finished. The Whisperm g Gallery which is over 100 feet above the floor of the Cathedral, IS remarkable for its acoustics. A person standing at the entrance of the Gallery can hear clearly what is said on the opposite side, 107 feet away. Beneath the centre of the dome is the tomb of lord Nelson killed at the battle of trafalgar.
