Abstract
Cathedrals map the loftiest human ambitions onto the urban landscape. St. Paul’s Cathedral embodied a wish to celebrate and communicate with the divine; its physical domination of London registered the strength of this desire. “For wee haue a golden candlestick, a glorious Church,” preached the Bishop of London in 1620, “whereem the light of the Gospell shineth.”1 Paul’s gave London spiritual shape, punctuating its cartography with a sacred focal point.
