Coronation glove

In 1953 the Court of Claims ruled that the Henry Pelham-Clinton-Hope, 9th Duke of Newcastle had lost the right by passing the manor to a limited company.

[3] The clergyman and historian Thomas Fuller, writing in 1655, stated that the white colour of the glove is a symbol of purity and integrity and intended to recall the virtues of Anglo-Saxon king Edward the Confessor.

[5] The glove worn by Queen Victoria at her 1838 coronation was made of kid leather and in the form of a gauntlet measuring 35 centimetres (14 in) in length.

[6] On the part of the glove covering the back of the hand the arms of the Howard family were embroidered in red and blue silk with gold detail.

The arms are surrounded by lettering spelling out "Honi soit qui mal y pense," the motto of the Order of the Garter.

The back again shows the arms of the Duke of Newcastle and a crown embroidered in red, white and blue silk and gold metal thread.

[10] The glove worn by George VI at his 1937 coronation was once more made of white kid leather and measures 39 centimetres (15 in) in length.

Similar to the glove of George V the back featured the arms of the Duke of Newcastle and a crown embroidered in red, white and blue silk and gold metal thread.

[12] The glove was instead provided by the Worshipful Company of Glovers and presented to the queen on coronation day by Frederick Marquis, Baron Woolton, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.

[2][15] The embroidery on the back of the glove featured no coat of arms, only Elizabeth's royal cypher and a crown in gold and red velvet.
