Inside The Model Of St Paul’sClick here to book for The Gentle Author’s ToursSimon Carter, Keeper of Collections at St Paul’sIn a hidden chamber within the roof of St Paul’s sits Christopher Wren’s 1:25 model of the cathedral, looking for all the world like the largest jelly mould you ever saw. Yet when I entered the chamber in the triforium at St Paul’s to view the vast wooden model, I had no idea of the surprise that awaited me inside. Then Simon left me there inside, just as I believe Wren left Charles II within the model, to appreciate the full effect. Such is the nature of the consciousness-filling reverie induced by sitting inside the model that the outside world recedes entirely.
