Illustrated talk by C. H. Williams
Professor of History at King's College. London
‛ Just as tihe spirit of the Middle Ages can sometimes be gleaned more from close study of this carving and that gargoyle than from a survey of the whole cathedral pile,’ says the speaker, ' so there may be some feature in the Coronation S;rv ce which, by dose study, can bring us nearer to the essential spirit of the whole.' From this point of view Professor Williams talks about the ritual anointing of the Monarch and the legend of the holy oil in England.
