King Charles I

The carved statue, on what was once the front of an Art Gallery in Bridge Street Row, is of King Charles I. Placed there after his beheading by the Parliamentarians, it was discovered to be too tall for the niche. The solution was to take a chunk out of his legs, so he appears even shorter than in real life (he was only around 5ft 4in or 1m 63cm).
