St. Martin in the Fields

After lying in state at the Adelphi, the coffins of Liholiho and Kamamalu, King and Queen of Hawai'i, were placed in the Crypt here. The pair had travelled to Britain in 1824 to visit King George IV, where they attended many of the places we've already seen. Their meeting with the King had to be postponed as Kamamalu and then Liholiho became ill with measles. They died less than two months after their arrival, and within a week of one another. Their bodies were stored here until August 1824, when they were put on board the HMS Blonde and transported back to Hawai’I for a proper funeral and burial.
