	Christopher Wren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in 1632 in Wiltshire, Wren was the son of the Dean of Windsor, a Royal appointment which would cause privations to the family during the period of the Commonwealth (1649 - 1660).
		Wren was also one of the founding members of the Royal Society, of which he was President from 1680 to 1682.
		Christopher Wren was knighted in 1673 and served as a member of Parliament in 1685-1688 and 1702-1705.

		Wren also designed a colonnade to enclose a large piazza forming a clear space round the church, somewhat after the fashion of Bernini's colonnade in front of St Peter's, but space in the city was too valuable to admit of this.
		Wren (D.C.L. from 1660) was knighted in 1673, and was elected president of the Royal Society in 1681.
		Many of these carry on the old belief that the wren was the king of birds, a belief connected with the fable that once the fowls of the air resolved to choose for their leader that one of them which should mount highest.

		Wren managed to beg off, but military engineering bulks fairly large in the Oxford topics, and he was consulted on the works at Tangier.

	Wren's Day, Dingle Peninsula, Ireland
		Today, the wren – as a feature of the event – survives only in the rhyme and in the name of the day, although, in former times, it was hunted and nailed to a pole at the head of the procession.
		That the Wren survived at all was due to the efforts of a few individuals and small groups of people working in isolation.
		Fundamentally though, the Wren is a local event, reflecting the communities it springs from – whether in the North of the country, or Wexford, Woodford in Galway or the west of Kerry.

		Wren was, of course, a prodigious talent--an intellectual prodigy who started his career as an astronomer and scientist before becoming increasingly interested in architecture in his early 30s.
		Wren's first commission was the beautiful Sheldonian Theatre at Oxford, and only a few years later he was asked to propose a new design for London's St. Paul's Cathedral.
		Finishing St. Paul's was to take the rest of Wren's long lifetime, but he was still able to complete the many important secular commissions that flowed his way, including the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, the Chelsea Hospital (a home for retired soldiers), and improvements on new construction on an assortment of palaces.
