St George the Martyr Holborn
- St George the Martyr Holborn
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 [http://www.friendsofstgeorgesgardens.org.uk/history.htm] ).
It was built between 1703 and 1706 [ [http://www.sgtm.org/about/index.asp St George's Bloomsbury] accessed 8 March 2007] , 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 [Walking Literary London, Roger Tagholm, New Holland Publishers, 2001.]
