Place:St. George the Martyr, Middlesex, England

:the text in this section is based on an article in Wikipedia The ancient parish of St Andrew Holborn was partly within the City of London and partly in the county of Middlesex. In the early 1700s the Queen Square area of the Middlesex section of the parish was developed, and a new chapel dedicated to St George was constructed between 1705 and 1706. In 1723 this area became the parish of St. George the Martyr. In 1767 this area was recombined with the remaining Middlesex portion of St Andrew Holborn to create St. Andrew Holborn Above the Bars with St George the Martyr. This renamed and expanded parish is the subject of a separate page in WeRelate.
