Queen Square had been completed in the 1720s and was named after Queen Anne (died 1714). It is one of the largest 18th-century squares in the country. Michael Rysbrack's bronze statue of William III was erected in the centre in 1735 and is generally acknowledged as the finest equestrian statue in the country. The truncated tower of St Mary Redcliffe, without its spire, is seen on the left. The artist has taken care to show the young lime trees which were planted in 1825 to replace every alternate tree from the original planting. Simon Waters's 2001 photograph (K6086) shows the square as it is now.
