EDITORS COMMENTS
The Coronation-Stone of Kingston-Upon-Thames, captured in this 1850 photograph, holds significant historical importance as the traditional seat for the coronation of nine Saxon monarchs. Until recently, this ancient stone stood on the north side of the Old Church in Kingston, a town in Greater London, England. According to John Speed, the renowned 17th-century historian, these monarchs were crowned in Kingston, with the Coronation Stone serving as their royal seat during the ceremony. This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, shows the Coronation Stone in its new location, having been moved during the present mayoralty. It now sits at the center of an open space, near the Savings-bank, and directly opposite the High-street, at the turning into the Portsmouth-road. The stone is placed on an heptagonal pedestal of granite, which stands on a circular base of the same material. The Coronation Stone, with its rich history, has long been a tourist attraction and a source of fascination for both locals and travelers. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of the stone's relocation and showcasing the Victorian-era street scene surrounding it. The railings and furniture in the image, as well as the presence of people and the railway in the background, serve as reminders of the changing times. This photograph, though its creator remains unknown, is an invaluable addition to our historical record, offering a glimpse into the past and the significance of the Coronation Stone in the history of Kingston-Upon-Thames.
