Guild	When Adrian Batten sang and played the organ at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London between 1626 and 1637, he could not have imagined that the great Cathedral would be destroyed in the Great Fire of London, in 1666. John Tomkins, too, was organist in the old Cathedral. Sir Christopher Wren’s renaissance masterpiece of a new Cathedral was to become the home to William Boyce, who was a choirboy, as well as Maurice Greene, Thomas Attwood and Sir John Goss, each of whom held the post of organist at the Cathedral, and wrote music for the spacious acoustic of the cruciform building.
