Inscription

Resurgam
{Latin - I Shall Rise Again}

This phoenix represents the rebirth of the old Cathedral, lost in the Great Fire. Stones from the old building were used in the construction of the new. The foundation stone for the new building was laid on 21st June 1675.

Site: Resurgam & recast roof (2 memorials)

EC4, Cannon Street, St Paul's Cathedral

Bonus fact: On the up-river side of Vauxhall Bridge there’s a statue holding a lovely little miniature St Paul’s Cathedral. The statue, by Pomeroy, is one of eight on the bridge and represents, of course, architecture. London Walking Tours have a good photo.
