Home News Photo diary History ... PRODUCTIONS Sir Christopher Wren Sir Christopher Wren Temple Bar During the eighteenth century Temple Bar was used to display the heads of traitors on iron spikes which protruded from the top of the main arch. One story goes that the Rye House plotters drew so much attention that telescopes were offered for hire in order to gain a better view. The last heads to be displayed were those of Towneley and Fletcher, who were taken at the Siege of Carlisle and executed in 1746. For some time after Towneley's execution his head was displayed on Temple Bar until a faithful family retainer secured possession of it and brought it back to Burnley, where for many years it was kept in a basket covered with a napkin in the drawing room at Towneley Hall.

HierBestellen.nl Wren, Sir Christopher Engelse architect en onderzoeker De Engelse architect en onderzoeker Sir Christopher Wren studeerde aan de universiteiten Westminster en Wadham College in Oxford, waar hij uitblonk in wiskunde en natuurkunde. Christopher Wren experimenteerde met opium, waardoor onder verdoving kon worden geopereerd. In 1662 richtte Christopher Wren met andere wetenschappers in Londen de Royal Society op, die tot doelstelling kreeg om de studie van natuurwetenschappen te bevorderen. Als architect liet Christopher Wren zich inspireren door de klassieken. In 1663 bezocht Wren Rome om de bouwkunst van de Romeinen te bestuderen. Wren bouwde onder meer de "Royal Exchange" (beursgebouw), de universiteitsgebouwen voor natuurkunde, het Chelsea Ziekenhuis, het opleidingsinstituut voor de marine, het hoofdgebouw van de douane en het Drury Lane Theater. Verder ontwierp Christopher Wren 52 kerken voor Londen en maakte hij de plannen voor de wederopbouw van Londern na de grote brand in 1666. Het belangrijkste gebouw van Christopher Wren is ongetwijfeld de St. Paul's Kathedraal in Londen, waarin hij na zijn dood in 1723 werd begraven.
