The main reason for scares adoption of baroque architecture for church design in England was plain lack of opportunity. The country was already very rich in medieval churches. The uncomfortable political and religious climate of that period depressed any building and reconstruction, though sometimes it was extremely necessary. After the Fire of London such opportunity finally arrived. Of the 86 destroyed or badly damaged churches then, it was decided to reconstruct 51. And, luckily, Christopher Wren being an Italian baroque architect as well was eager to take on this job in England.
Wren had the qualities right appropriate for those circumstances. In particular, his powers of invention and his resourcefulness were almost limitless. They allowed him to make merits of the severe necessities presented by limited finances and uncomfortable sites. In the churches of the City Wren manufactured a wonderful diversity of plan forms, the least trace of that time was free from. And his case established Classicism like a standard for church architecture in England. Wren's style included lots of unusual elements, which presented a combination of Italian, English, Dutch, and French trends.
Due to too a good deal of occupied space, St. Mary Virgin Church was retreated inward and then at very last Baroque period attained a smallest amount of projection.
