Sir Christopher Wren (5)

I sadly missed the unveiling of the monument to Sir Christopher Wren in East Knoyle, west of Salisbury, where his father was rector for twenty years and where Wren himself was born in 1632, but I have just been sent a photograph of it by its sculptor, John Maine. It’s a very beautiful and appropriate monument to Wren’s mathematical (and astronomical) intelligence:-

Even more impressive is his picture of the entire village assembled at its unveiling:-

  1. That is a beautiful memorial that also appeals to my scientific brain. How wonderful! I have just looked up the location of the village and it’s not horrendously far from a school that I will be visiting on my work travels later this year. I may well go and pay homage.
