Contracts and Pay at St Paul’s Cathedral, and at the Office of the King’s Works

Chapter Chapter 6 in Contracts and Pay, 2020, pp 141-171 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents a significant proportion of the new evidence presented by this book using the day books of William Kempster, the mason contractor responsible for the south west tower, west front, geometric staircase, and library, at St Paul’s Cathedral in the decade after 1700. It shows that men were paid different rates to the day rates billed to institutions, and that labourers and craftsmen’s pay was lower than previously assumed.
