England, refers to the "pedalboard," see, those are that
board that you
walk on, you know?
- Studying Data Assimilation (9 July 64) a famous cathedral in
London,
England, and one of the most well-known churches in the
world. A cathedral is a large and
imposing church which is the
seat of a bishop (a superior
ranking member of the
Christian clergy
having authority over other clergy and who supervises a number of
local churches in his district). Saint Paul's Cathedral was designed by renowned British architect and mathematician
Sir Christopher Wren (1632- 1723) who modeled the cathedral after
Saint Peter's Church in
Rome. Built between 1675 and 1710, it was opened for
service in December, 1697, while still under construction.
English composer and organist Maurice
Greene (1696-1755) was one of the first to
play the cathedral's pedal organ. (A pedal is a foot-operated lever used to modify the sounds of certain types of organs.) Like most cathedrals it is shaped like a
cross (as seen from above). With a huge
dome topped with a
cross it
rises to over 360 feet (110 m) in height. The interior is chiefly decorated in marble and along its walls are many tombs and monuments, mostly of famous naval or military figures. It covers a total of 60,000
square feet (5,574
square meters) and is one of
London's
major landmarks. The name Saint Paul's has also been used to name other churches around the
world.
