History:
St Paul’s Cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, was completed in 1710 after the Great Fire of London destroyed the earlier medieval cathedral. Its magnificent dome has dominated the London skyline for more than 300 years, serving as a symbol of resilience, faith, and national identity. The cathedral has hosted many historic services, including the funerals of Lord Nelson and Sir Winston Churchill, and the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. The Matchcraft St Paul’s Cathedral Matchstick Kit allows hobbyists to recreate this architectural treasure in miniature form, engaging with its rich history while celebrating the tradition of wooden model craft.
