Mug celebrating the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Mugs such as these were presented to all the children of the parish. This one belonged to Malcolm Titcombe of Lydiard Tregoze.

John Strange of Hook, Lydiard Tregoze, recalls that there was a sixpence stuck in the bottom of all the mugs that were given to the children.
