Garth Thompson Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) I recently aquired this medal in a lot of miscellaneous items. It is 2 1/2" (65mm) point to point) with a lovely well done enamelled centre and a open "C" catch pin back. I appears to be silver from the hallmarks on one star point. Any help id'ing the medal appreciated. Garth Edited December 22, 2009 by Garth Thompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 That is outstanding!!! I had no idea that even existed!! I think the association is still around. It is very High C of E.....part of the Oxford Movement. I think its on Wikipedia. There was a chapter at the Anglican Walsingham shrine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 It is very High C of E..... It does sound very High Church, doesn't it? The current Pontiff - whom one of my sisters refers to scornfully as "that German bishop" - is flirting with re-uniting the Anglicans with Holy Mother Church again. What I find most interesting however is the quaint notion that Charles was "Charles the Martyr"! It's been some years since I read the history of that period but I don't recollect that he did anything particularly holy or even pro-Church and in my books, simply being whacked by political opponenets hardly qualifies as grounds for canonization. Sounds a bit like the proponents of "Saint Evita" in the Argentine! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's it: http://www.skcm.org/SCharles/scharles_main.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
