Queen Elizabeth I Statue


Tucked away inside the gates of St Dunstan's-in-the-west, Fleet Street, is the only statue of Elizabeth I of England. This statue was once more prominent on Ludgate Hill at the old "Lud" gate, a gateway near the bottom of the hill. When the ancient gateway was demolished, the statue was removed and placed in the basement of a nearby pub for storage. Forgotten over the centuries it was rediscovered as late as 1839, by workmen demolishing the old pubic house. Later it was found a new home, with its final resting place in the alcove of obscurity.
