London - St Paul's - Old Engraving



Original engraving labelled as: "St. Paul's Cathedral.  North Eastern View."
Drawn by Hablot Browne.  Engraved by B. Winkles for Winkles's Cathedrals.

Published London Oct 1, 1835 by Effingham Wilson, Royal Exchange.

You can explore all round the outside of this amazing building in our FREE tour of St Paul's Precincts.  

"This FREE circular tour around St Paul’s precincts includes some of the history of the Cathedral (although does not go inside), but its main focus is to explore the Cathedral precincts bringing to life statues, archways, gardens, buildings and hidden corners.

Emerging from the shadows of history are memorials to the Blitz, John Wesley, and Thomas Becket.  We discover the founding of the YMCA, the home of the book burners, the extinction bell, and St Paul’s Cross.   Other curiosities include an ancient misplaced archway, a vanished market and a 150 million year old statue!"
