'Keepers of the Kingdom' explores 1,500 years of history and tradition through one hundred of Britain's ancient titles and offices. From the Queen's Herb Strewer to the Grand Carver of England, from the Archdruid of Anglesea to the Hereditary Bearer of the National Flag of Scotland, the present holders of each title are portrayed resplendent in their uniforms of office, while a lively text reveals the fascinating origins and evolution of their posts.
With over 100 stunning photographs, this living collection of resounding titles, odd names and ancient appointments offers a hugely enjoyable, alternative insight into Britain's history.
