The Deanery (St. Paul’s)

The Deanery at St. Paul’s Cathedral served as the residence for the dean of the cathedral from 1145 onward, eventually being reconstructed after its destruction in the Great Fire of London. In offering a reconstruction of the site based on the paintings in John Donne’s will, Schofield states that in 1522 the deanery contained a hall, parlour, six chambers, two garrets, a chapel and ten feather beds (Schofield 153).
