The coronation roll for King Charles III, presented in 2024, marks a departure from traditional materials, being the first to be recorded on high-quality paper instead of animal skin. This change is part of a broader modernization that includes the use of animal-free coronation oils. The roll extends 69 feet and was crafted by calligrapher Stephanie von Werthern-Gill, who spent 56 consecutive days completing the hand-stitched manuscript without weekend breaks.

Coronation rolls are historically significant documents that record the details of a monarch's coronation. These rolls have been part of royal ceremonies for centuries, serving as official records that list the events, participants, and rituals of the coronation day. The tradition of creating and preserving these rolls dates back to medieval times, reflecting a monarch's legal and ceremonial ascension to the throne.[1]
Historical Significance
The oldest surviving coronation roll is from the coronation of Edward II in 1308[2][3], which is in remarkably good condition despite being stored in the Tower of London for hundreds of years before its transfer to more careful preservation in the National Archives. These documents were crucial in medieval times as they provided documentary proof of a monarch's legitimacy and the allegiances of nobles, which were often contested during periods of political instability.
Evolution Over Time
Traditionally, coronation rolls were written on materials made from animal skin. The text was typically inscribed in Norman French and Latin, with the first roll fully written in English appearing only in 1820 for the coronation of George IV. The rolls also served as guides for future coronations, with monarchs like Charles II and James II consulting previous rolls to enhance the splendor and precision of their own ceremonies.
Modern Adaptations
The coronation roll for King Charles III, presented in 2024[4], marks a departure from traditional materials, being the first to be recorded on high-quality paper instead of animal skin. This change is part of a broader modernization that includes the use of animal-free coronation oils. The roll extends 69 feet and was crafted by calligrapher Stephanie von Werthern-Gill, who spent 56 consecutive days completing the hand-stitched manuscript without weekend breaks. The document is adorned with illustrations by Tim Noad, who is also responsible for designing the King's cypher.
Artistic and Official Record
The 2024 coronation roll not only serves as an official record but has also become a significant work of art. The meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to detail reflect the roll's dual function as both a state document and a piece of historical artwork. This latest edition includes a digital version, making it accessible to the public online and continuing the tradition's adaptation to the digital age.
Public Display and Archival
After being presented to the monarch, coronation rolls are typically put on public display before being archived in the National Archives. This allows both national and international audiences to engage with a piece of history, understanding the ceremonial aspects of a monarchy that has evolved over centuries.
