Hubert Le Sueur in the context of "Queen Eleanor Memorial Cross"

William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke (8 April 1580 – 10 April 1630) KG, PC, of Wilton House in Wiltshire, was an English nobleman, politician and courtier. He served as Chancellor of the University of Oxford and together with King James I founded Pembroke College, Oxford. In 1608 he was appointed Warden of the Forest of Dean, Constable of St Briavels Castle, Gloucestershire, and in 1609 Governor of Portsmouth, all of which offices he retained until his death. He served as Lord Chamberlain from 1615 to 1625. In 1623 the First Folio of Shakespeare's plays was dedicated to him and his brother and successor Philip Herbert, 1st Earl of Montgomery.

The equestrian statue of Charles I at Charing Cross, London, England, is a work by the French sculptor Hubert Le Sueur, probably cast in 1633 during Charles’ lifetime. It is the oldest bronze statue in London and is considered the central point of the city.

Its location at Charing Cross is on the former site of the most elaborate of the Eleanor crosses erected by Edward I, which had stood for three and a half centuries until 1647. Charing Cross is used to define the centre of London and a plaque by the statue indicates that road signage distances to London are measured from this point. The statue faces down Whitehall towards Charles I's place of execution in 1649 at Banqueting House.

Northumberland House is a 1752 landscape painting by the Italian artist Canaletto. Painted during his nine-year stay in Britain he depicts Northumberland House on the Strand by Charing Cross in London close to the location of the later Trafalgar Square. Canaletto was commissioned by the Westminster property's owner Sir Hugh Smithson, then 2nd Earl of Northumberland (later the Duke of Northumberland). Smithson was his most important patron during his time in England. The work shows Northumberland House at the middle of the eighteenth century.
