The oldest object seen at the Coronation of Charles III was the so-called St Augustine or Canterbury gospels. Dating from the end of the sixth century, it was brought to England as part of St Augustine's mission to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity. Kept as a holy relic in the late Middle Ages, it very narrowly escaped destruction at the English Reformation, only to be rescued and given to Corpus Christi College in Cambridge, where it remains. This video explores the history and significance of this important object.
