A stately exploration of the history of St Paul's Cathedral in London, with a focus on the architecture and individuals buried there, and the impact of the Blitz.
'A picture of St. Paul's Cathedral, past and present. Old St. Paul's; St. Paul's rebuilt by Wren; St. Paul's the shrine of an Empire's heroes---- Nelson, Wellington, Roberts, Kitchener, Jellicoe, Beatty. The film shows recent historic occasions, and the great Dome riding high above the blitz of 1940. It ends with a thanksgiving service on the steps of the bomb-scarred Cathedral.'
