Charlotte Square now is a square (with just a little cut off each corner. Was it ever built as a circle? St George's Church is still a prominent landmark on the western side of Charlotte Square, but is now used as West Register House. The congregation has joined with St Andrew's congregation at the eastern end of George Street to form St Andrew & St George's Church. The two buildings in the lower-left corner of the map are: - St John's Church (described as St John's Chapel) - St Cuthbert's Church (described as West Church) |
