Talk by the Rev. Charles Smyth, Canon of Westminster and Rector of St. Margaret's
Canon Smyth shows how the blending of the 'secular' and the 'ecclesiastical' in the Coronation Service is the product of a historic evolution, going back to the rite compiled by St. Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, for the Coronation of King Edgar in Bath Abbey on Whit Sunday 973. He describes the sources from which St. Dunstan borrowed its chief elements particularly the Anointing, which for a thousand years has been the heart of the English Coronation rite.
The first of four talks on the Coronation Service by speakers from Westminster Abbey.
