Resumen de Sir Christopher Wren’s failed project for a crossing tower and spire at Westminster Abbey, 1713–25
In 1713, with funds available for 'finishing' Westminster Abbey, the Surveyor to the Fabric, Sir Christopher Wren, began to plan the addition of a lofty crossing tower and spire. After Wren's death in 1723 the proposal was shelved by his successor, Nicholas Hawksmoor, who recognised that it presented an insoluble structural problem.
