Begun in 1093 by Bishop William of St. Calais, the cathedral replaced an earlier church. Early in the Middle Ages the church that contained the official 'seat' or throne (cathedra) of the bishop was known as the ecclcsia cathedralis, or 'church of the throne'. We now use the word 'cathedral'. Reims Cathedral, built (1211-1311) on the traditional coronation site of the kings of France, is one of the greatest monuments of Gothic art and architecture. Work on the cathedral commenced under the architect Jean Robert de Coucy. St Paul's, cathedral of London and parish church of the British Commonwealth, was designed by Sir Christopher Wren between 1670 and 1675 in a classical version of the baroque style to replace the medieval cathedral of Old Saint Paul's.

The 'London Wall' is arranged by London Borough to illustrate how change is affecting local communities as well as the wider metropolis.
