Church in London, England
St George the Martyr Holborn is an Anglican church located at the south end of Queen Square , Holborn , in the London Borough of Camden . It is dedicated to Saint George , and was originally so-called to distinguish it from the later nearby church of St. George's Bloomsbury , with which it shared a burial ground (now St George's Gardens).[1] [2]
History
[ edit ]
The church was built in 1703–06 by Arthur Tooley, as a chapel of ease to St Andrew, Holborn .[3] Streynsham Master .[4] Commission for Building Fifty New Churches and became a parish church in 1723, receiving the dedication to St George, in honour of Streynsham Master's governorship of Fort St George in India.[5]
The antiquary William Stukeley was the rector from 1747 to his death there in 1765.[6]
The church was remodelled in the early nineteenth century by J.B. Papworth , who added a bell-tower and two frontages to what had previously been a plain brick building,[5] S. S.Teulon , who almost entirely changed the exterior, removed the galleries and added the present columns and roof.[3]
After the death of Joseph Stalin the Rev. Stanley Evans, M.A. gave a memorial service in his honour on March 13, 1953.[7]
It was at this church that Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath married on Bloomsday in 1956.[8]
Conservation
[ edit ]
The church was designated a Grade II* listed building on 24 October 1951.[3]
Organ
[ edit ]
The organ has been listed as a historic instrument by the British Institute of Organ Studies . The first organ was erected in 1773; it has been rebuilt over the years.[9]
