Wren’s Ecclesiastical Architecture - William Whyte

“Architecture aims at eternity”: Wren and church building a talk by William Whyte on Friday 27 October 2023. William Whyte presents a talk about Wren’s ecclesiastical architecture at St James’s, one of Wren’s most celebrated church buildings. The son of a prominent priest, and almost certainly intended for the Anglican ministry himself, Christopher Wren grew up within the Church. In his long and distinguished career, he built many places of worship – including St James’s Piccadilly, which he argued should serve as a model for other churches. Yet, Wren’s own relationship to religion is somewhat mysterious and subsequent generations condemned any of his churches as essentially unchristian. This talk explores Wren – his life, work, and reputation – and shows how his church buildings reflected faith. The talk will be introduced by Neil McGregor whose BBC Radio 4 Sunday Worship in February explored the way in which Wren’s churches not only achieve beauty, but provide different sorts of spaces for diverse congregations. This talk is part of the Wren300, London Series: Talks explore Wren’s grandest designs across the capital. The talk is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Square Mile Churches.
