Description
The statue, dating from around 1775, is located at the north end of Queen Square Gardens. It is a lead statue of a crowned queen dressed in royal robes. Originally, the queen held a sceptre, which is now missing. To her left is a baluster with a tasselled cushion. The statue stands on a Portland stone pedestal that was originally inscribed with the words "Virtus et tutamen." The statue is thought to represent Queen Charlotte, the wife of George III, although it may also depict Queen Anne or Mary II.
