"Bell's Cathedrals: The Cathedral Church of Saint Paul" by Arthur Dimock is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work provides an in-depth exploration of St. Paul's Cathedral, delving into both its architectural features and rich history. Dimock's writing highlights the evolution of the Cathedral from its early foundations to its current structure, with detailed references to significant historical events associated with it. The opening of the book introduces St. Paul’s Cathedral’s long and storied history, starting with its foundation during the Roman period and moving through various critical eras, including the Saxon, Norman, and Plantagenet periods. It discusses the geographical significance of its location near the Thames and mentions early Christian influences that shaped its existence. The narrative dives into architectural developments, including the rebuilding processes after destructive events such as fires. Through exploring the roles of various historical figures and civic events that took place at the Cathedral, Dimock sets a scholarly tone that promises to be both informative and engaging for readers interested in both architecture and history.
