London and its environs : a practical guide to the metropolis and its vicinity, illustrated by maps, plans and views . es are made :— To the Whispering, Stone, and Golden Galleries, 6d. ; to theLibrary, Great Bell, Geometrical Staircase, and Model Room, 6d.; to the Crypt, where are the tombs of Nelson and Welling-ton, 6d.; to the Clock, 2d. ; and to the Ball, Is. 6d. It is much to be regretted that no complete general yievr ofSt. Pauls is obtainable, in consequence of the nearness of thesurrounding houses ; but no view is more striking than thatfrom Blackfriars Bridge, although the whole of the lower partof the cathedral is concealed. History op the Site.—Ethelbert, King of Kent, built thefirst church at this place in 610. This was destroyed by firein 1087, but another edifice, Old St. Pauls, was shortly after-wards commenced. This was much damaged by a fire in 1137 ;it was greatly injured by lightning in 1444; in 1561 it wasagain damaged by fire ; it became much dilapidated, and a con-siderable sum had been expended in repairing it, when the great O GROUND PLAN OF ST. PAUL S CATHEDRAL. CHEAPSIDE . 1^ ST. PAULS CATHEDRAL, 83 fire of 1666 utterly destroyed it. The structure was in theGothic style, and its plan was a Latin cross. It was 690 feetlong, 130 feet broad, and the spire, springing from a tower, roseto the height of 520 feet. Near the north-east end stood PowlesCross, so often referred to in our early literature, and a pulpitwhere sermons were preached, and the popes mandates—whetherblessing or cursing—read aloud to the people. The middleaisle was termed Pauls Walk, from its being much frequentedby idlers as well as by money-lenders and dealers in commodi-ties. A scene in one of Ben Jonsons plays is laid in themiddle aisle of Pauls. One old writer compared the noisemade by talkers and the walkers to a kind of still roar or loudwhisper. Desecrated within, it was no better treated without.A carpenter and a wine-dealer took possession of part of thevault
