St Paul's Cathedral is home to some of the finest sculptures by the foremost artists of the long nineteenth century.Memorials around the Cathedral represent giants of the arts, political and military figures and a range of other men and women of national importance, from Nelson to Florence Nightingale. Their memorials echo the tenor of their lives, some dramatic and impressive, others quieter and more reflective, but each story unique. The monuments of St Paul's are also a record of 19th-century nationalist attitudes, giving this guide particular piquancy in light of current conversations about national identity and values.
