Chloe created Wren 300 Playing Cards using her papercut designs of the churches and the Monument and Temple Bar, also built by the office of Sir Christopher Wren in the City of London, as the Jokers in the pack. You can buy the latest edition of her playing cards here. Below is a map Chloe created of all the churches featured in her pack of cards, in approximately the same location as they were originally built in the City of London by the office of Christopher Wren.
The playing cards are ordered by the date of the Saint of the churches’ Feast Day. They are poker cards ranking King, Queen, Jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2 and Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs.
