As the chief designer of more than 50 English churches, some of London’s most prominent secular structures, as well as numerous scientific inventions, Sir Christopher Wren has firmly established himself as one of the 17th century’s greatest minds. Having made some of his most noted contributions to the field of architecture, including London’s famed St Paul’s Cathedral, many fail to notice the full gravity of his scientific achievements as well. In addition to his role as a founder and President of the Royal Society, Wren was admired by men such as Sir Isaac Newton and King Charles II for his diverse talents across architecture and science.
