In this major study, the combined results of the archaeological excavation and attendant documentary studies concerning the cathedrals and other buildings that preceded Wren's St Paul's are
presented in careful detail. Remarkable for the thorough treatment of a complex subject, the book is further enhanced by exhaustive presentation of historic plans and images, including b&w
photos of finds and various parts of the sites. The volume, which is oversized (8.75x11"), concludes with a lengthy appendix of specialist reports of specific kinds of finds. Distributed in
