charger at Charing Cross gazing down

his head, and unidentified so far as

But at last, on initiative Of the
Royal Martyr Society. the Office of

tablet, with names and dates officially
approved. This was agreed upon
chiefly for the benefit of the increased
number Of tourists, from the prov.

every day and who, from their guide
books or otherwise. may not be able
to identify the unhappy monarch as
he sits ma jestically with barred head.
Charles statue was cast in 1888, but
the Civil War broke out before it had
been erected. BY order of the Crom.
wellian Parliament it was disposed of
at junk and stood in a shopkeeper's
garden in Holborn until the Restora-
