The Chapel was gifted to the College by Matthew Wren, who had been an undergraduate, Fellow and President of Pembroke. During the English Civil War, while Bishop of Ely, he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. Wren vowed that if he was ever released he would devote part of his fortune to some holy purpose. In 1659, after 18 years in the Tower, he was finally set free and made good his promise. He commissioned his nephew, Christopher Wren to design the Chapel - his first completed architectural project. Despite the proposal of architect Alfred Waterhouse to demolish it and build an Italianate campanile, Wren's thank-piece has remained mostly untouched. The east wall of the Chapel was moved one bay eastwards in the late nineteenth century by Sir George Gilbert Scott, in order to create a little more space. While the pandemic has meant that the Chapel is currently closed to visitors, it remains an oasis of peace and calm for students, whatever their beliefs.".

I was really impressed with this staircase, designed by Sir Christopher Wren several hundred years ago. This particular staircase is part of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. The proportion was perfect. I just wish they would have allowed photography within the cathedral because there was so much more to take pictures of! I was also particularly intrigued by this staircase because of Christopher Wren's use of the Golden Ratio in his architectural design. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio Nikon D300s Tokina 11-16 f/2.8

Hawksmoor’s professional reputation was overshadowed in his own time–and long afterwards–by his association with two more prominent “gentlemen” architects, Christopher Wren and John Vanbrugh, but in …
