Christopher Wren was quite simply the greatest architect Britain has ever known. But he was more than that. A founder of the Royal Society, he mapped the moon and the stars, investigated the problem of longitude and the rings of Saturn, and carried out groundbreaking experiments into the circulation of the blood. Tinniswood shows us the man behind the legend. And he shows why Wren remains a cultural icon, both a creation and a creator of the world he lived in.

Adrian Tinniswood OBE FSA is Senior Research Fellow in Architectural History at the University of Buckingham, and the author of fourteen books, including His Invention So Fertile: A Life of Christopher Wren, published in 2001.

This talk has been organised by the Friends of Holnest Church. Tickets: £8 from Sherborne TIC (from 8th August).
