It’s a common misconception that St Paul’s Cathedral came through the Blitz untouched but in fact, it sustained significant damage during that time.
As part of the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, we explore the hidden roof spaces to understand a direct hit in April 1941 that threatened the stability of the dome.
Surveyor to the Fabric, Oliver Caroe, explains the crucial engineering work that prevented a far more serious outcome, thanks to decisions made just a few years earlier.
Discover the marks left behind, the distorted stonework and the extraordinary forces the Cathedral had to withstand during one of the most challenging moments in its history.
