There are two churches dedicated to Charles I, does anybody know any churches not dedicated to a saint? And why are these churches dedicated to Charles I?

I am probably missing something here, but Church of the Ascension is not named after a saint, nor is Holy Cross.

Do you mean in particular a church named for a person who is not a saint?

Question Author

I was refering to churches with names of people who have not been canonised.

Charles 1 was executed if I remember rightly for his faith so therefore a marytr which would be considered as a saint not sure if Charles 1 was canonised. I believe there is a feast day kept for him.  you could go in the church and usually there's a history of the church a leaflet  or could write to the priest and ask for details, where are the church's could be places that were associated with King Charles.

I looked up The society of King Charles the Martyr and yes he was made a saint  and there seems to be a number of churches dedicated to him and events that take place each year. Jan 30th was day of martyrdom
