Lord Nelson statue and the Royal Garrison Church Portsmouth
The Royal Garrison Church was built in 1212 but partly destroyed by fire bombs on 10 January 1941, the chancel survived. King Charles II married there in 1662. The Royal Garrison Church is thought to have been built in 1212 by the Bishop of Winchester as part of a hospital and hostel for pilgrims. After the Reformation it was used as an ammunition store, before becoming part of the governor of Portsmouth’s house during Elizabeth I’s reign.
