Fix this text* “ glory of having been the Saxon capital of England. One of
Fix this textthe oldest of England’s towns, Kingston was the scene of the
Fix this textcoronation of Saxon kings a thousand years ago, and of Egbert’s
Fix this textWitenagemot even before that.
Fix this textThe pride of Kingston must surely be the famous Coronation
Fix this textStone upon which the ceremony, according to tradition, was
Fix this textperformed. Removed nowadays to the market place and reverently
Fix this textrailed off by a massive iron screen, the Coronation Stone is a mute

Fix this textcrowned.
Fix this textThe church at Kingston contains some old monuments, including
Fix this textone to a daughter of Edward 111 and his mistress, Alice Perrers.
