Charles Gordon-Lennox (1791 – 1860) was the son of Charles Lennox, the 4th Duke of Richmond, and the nephew of George Gordon, the 5th Duke of Gordon. This resulted in Charles becoming the 5th Duke of Richmond and Lennox. He was an aide-de-camp (assistant) to Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley during the defeat of Napoléon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. He was also the Postmaster General from 1830 until 1834. This bronze statue by sculptor Alexander Brodie was erected in The Square in 1862.
