Sir Christopher Wren (20 October 1632 - 25 February 1723) was a 17th century English designer, astronomer, geometer, and the greatest English architect of his time. Wren designed 53 London churches, including St Paul's Cathedral, as well as many secular buildings of note. He was a founder of the Royal Society (president 1680 - 82), and his scientific work was highly regarded by Sir Isaac Newton and Blaise Pascal.
