During the summer holidays I took my youngest to London for a few days. We thoroughly enjoyed being tourists and taking in all the sights. My trip helped me decide on this Star Buy, see below for details. Happy Browsing & Best Wishes Vickie Star Buy BC324MS £30 OFFER £20 St Paul’s Cathedral. Signed by the Dean of St Paul’s. Did you know? St Paul’s Cathedral is one of the largest churches in the world and is located in the City of London on Ludgate Hill, the City’s highest point. It was designed by Sir Christopher Wren as an important part of a huge rebuilding plan after the Great Fire of London in 1666. Wren also designed over 50 other London Churches. He was the first person to be buried in its tombs. Burials are no longer held in St. Paul’s. One of the most well known features of the cathedral is the Whispering Gallery. A whisper against the wall can be clearly heard at the other side 112 feet away! This is due to the acoustics of the curved surfaces. The cathedral is working church with hourly prayer and daily services. It is also a very popular tourist attraction. 2 Warren House, Shearway Road, Folkestone, Kent CT19 4BF COMPBC03 Tel 01303 278137 Fax 01303 279429 Email [email protected] SERIES 3 CHECKLIST l The
