Sir Christopher Wren
Sir Christopher Wren was a distinguished mathematician as well as a professor
of astronomy and architecture:
Sir Christopher Wren made himself into a great architect. He had no formal
training and little opportunity of knowing, at first hand, the architecture of the
Continent of his own or any other age. He built nothing before he was thirty; but
by the time he was seventy and still very active, he could rival any European archi-
tect then living. (Whinney, 1971, 7)
