Having written yesterday about surviving relics of King Charles I the serendipity of the Internet yielded another in the form of an article in the Daily Express yesterday about a silver locket that contains what is described as part of a single strand of the King’s hair. It is interesting that the fragment is described by a label ( of what date?) on the locket as being hair of “S Charles”, so it was clearly seen very much as a relic to be treasured and venerated in the High Anglican tradition.
The illustrated report can be seen at Antiques Roadshow’s Fiona Bruce left stunned by locket containing Charles I’s hair
