The Duke of Kent at Carisbrooke

[cinrit]

The Duke of Kent was accompanied by the Lord Lieutenant of the IW, Martin White, who introduced the Royal visitor to Judi Griffin, Chair of Carisbrooke Castle Museum Trustees.

There was much history for the Duke to view in the Museum, including the Newtown Mace. It is over 500 years old and was the symbol of authority in the ancient borough, which was founded in 1256 as Francheville.

He was particularly interested in the Isle of Wight at War displays in the upper gallery, which he was shown by Sarah Lang the Museum's curator, before exploring the Royal Bedchamber.
