Old St Paul's Cathedral model

Old St Paul's Cathedral was built from 1087 to 1314 and dedicated to St. Paul. This building may be the fourth church on Ludgate Hill, dating back to the 7th century. The construction of the church began after a fire in 1087, which destroyed the previous church. The work took over 200 years, during which the architectural style of the church changed from Norman Romanesque to early English Gothic.
