He filled no public posts and took no part in public life in the county. He was never married. A devoted churchman, he gave lavishly to Church and philan thropic objects. He was for twenty years churchwarden of All Saints' Church, Bordighera, and was in some sense the father of the English colony of that place, having given some £5000 towards the building of the Church, the Parsonage and other institutions in connection with it.

By Lena Milman. London: Duckworth and Co. New York: Charles Scribners Sons. 1908. Cloth, 8in. × 52in., pp. xvi. + 367. 70 illustrations. Price 7/6 net. "The precise date of Christopher Wren's birth is a matter of dispute (says the authoress), but most authorities agree in setting aside his baptismal entry (dated 1631) as inaccurate, and accepting October 20th, 1632, as the day on which a second son was born to Christopher Wren, Rector of East Knoyle. Two years earlier in the Register another son's birth is recorded, but since to both alike there was given their father's name in baptism, it would seem certain that the elder died in infancy.” On the translation of his uncle, Matthew Wren, from the See of Norwich to that of Ely, and his resignation of the Deanery of Windsor and the Registrarship of the Garter, both these offices were conferred upon his father, who continued to hold the Rectory of East Knoyle together with that of Great Haseley in Oxfordshire. The career of "that miracle of a youth," as John Evelyn calls him, at Westminster School, at Wadham College, Oxford, as Fellow of All Souls, and Professor of Astronomy at Gresham College, London, at the age of 24, and Savillian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford in 1661, is followed with just sufficient detail to show the way in which he was regarded by his contemporaries as a kind of universal genius in almost every branch of knowledge, except architecture. This he seems never to have touched until in 1662 the King, apparently on the recommendation of Evelyn, appointed him "Assistant to the Surveyor-General," expressly in order that he might carry out the two important works of repairing St. Paul's and Windsor Castle. All this is told in the first sixty-eight pages of the book, and then the authoress settles down to the main purpose of her work -the sympathetic setting forth, with excellent illustrations, and most understanding criticism, of all the main architectural works accomplished by her hero, from his first work in the doorway in the north transept |
