Notes This coronet was worn by Edward Knatchbull-Hugessen, 2nd Baron Brabourne (1857-1909) at the Coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra which took place at Westminster Abbey, London on 9 August 1902. The ceremony, originally scheduled for 26 June that year, was postponed because of the King's sudden illness two days before from appendicitis which required an immediate operation.?
Frederic Hewson entered his first mark at Goldsmiths' Hall, London on 21 June 1886. He eventually went into partnership in 1898 with John Henry Williams, trading as Hewson & Williams, manufacturing silversmiths; they moved to 10 & 12 Heddon Street, Regent Street in 1901.
