Edward Strong the Younger

Edward Strong the Younger was an English master mason and architect-builder active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He is best known for his work with Sir Christopher Wren and later with Wren’s circle on major works of English Baroque, including St Paul’s Cathedral, Marlborough House, parts of Greenwich Hospital/Palace, and multiple new London parish churches of the post–Great Fire rebuilding programme. He and his father, Edward Strong the Elder (1652–1724), led one of the most important stonemasonry and building enterprises in England at the turn of the 18th century.
