St George the Martyr Holborn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St George the Martyr Holborn is an Anglican church dedicated to Saint George, located at the south end of Queen Square, Holborn. It is 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]).
It was built between 1703 and 1706[1], and later that century bought and altered by the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches. It was here that Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath married on Bloomsday in 1956[2]
