Today in York Minster a special service will be held to commemorate the anniversary of the execution of Charles I on 29 January 1649. The service is held on this date every year using a bible and prayer book which were given by Charles to the Minster in 1633. Apparently Charles had granted the Dean and Chapter £1000 to spend on the library. However the money was spent elsewhere and as a punishment they were forced to purchase this book even though the inscription describes it as a gift.
Published in 1613, this version of the King James Bible has a beautiful velvet binding with silver clasps. Engraved on the clasps are the words ‘Ex dono Regis Carolij 1633’ which translate as ‘The gift of King Charles 1633’.
