ST. EDWARD'S STAFF
St Edward's Staff is a 1.4-metre-long (4.6 ft) gold walking stick made for Charles II in 1661.
It has a plain monde and cross at the top and a steel pike at the bottom. This object is almost
certainly a copy of the long rod of silver-gilt mentioned in the list of royal plate and jewels
destroyed in 1649. The staff's intended role in the coronation has been forgotten since
medieval times, and so it is carried into the Abbey by a peer as a holy relic and laid on the
altar, where it remains throughout the ceremony.
