Statue of Charles I, Trafalgar Square.
Cast 1633, by Hubert Le Sueur, the carved pedestal by Joshua Marshall was provided when the statue was erected here (on the site of the Eleanor Cross) in 1674-75.
This highly influential equestrian statue, the first of its kind in England, was originally commissioned in 1630 by Charles I’s Lord Treasurer Sir Richard Weston for his house Mortlake Park, Roehampton.
