Charles II, Soho Square, London

The statue once belonged to W.S.Gilbert and was at his home, Grim's Dyke in Harrow Weald. It was still there in 1915 after his death, but his widow arranged for it to be restored to Soho Square on her death. Caroline's Miscellany explains how Gilbert acquired toe statue: The gardens were redesigned in 1975 and the statue was bought by Thomas Blackwell who had the Crosse & Blackwell HQ in Soho Square. Blackwell gave it to the artist Frederick Goodall who lived at Grim's Dyke and in 1890 it was sold with the house to Gilbert. This object is part of Scan The World.
