    Have I read this question correctly?

    WASHINGTON DC

    South Dakota has an 'S' an 'O' a 'T' a 'D' and an 'A.' When I looked at my map every state had a letter in its name from Washington DC so surely the answer is none. Am I missing something here?

    I could probably have worded the question better Nines, I had in mind the capital of each particular state as opposed to the capital of the USA

    Ah, I get it now mate. Once your train of thought takes one path it's difficult to revert to the correct one.

    I wasn’t sure what it is meant to be called, it certainly is a proper bit of Victorian engineering.

    Staying in the same area, there is a statue of which king (and his sons) in the porch of St Dunstan in the West, Fleet Street?

    No.

    There used to be a pub named after the same king quite close to the church.
