Popis:

This extraordinary item gives a glimpse into the important events which took place in Derby in December 1745, when Prince Charles Edward Stuart occupied Derby with his rebel Jacobite forces.

This gold ring set with large diamonds, once belonged to the Prince. During his stay in Derby, he held his headquarters at Exeter House. The Prince, however, took his meals at the house of Mrs Ward, whose late husband had been Chief Alderman of Derby. Mrs Ward provided her 13 year old son Samuel for the purposes of tasting the Prince’s food. Evidently satisfied Prince Charles gave this diamond ring to Mrs Ward upon his ill-fated departure.

The ring stayed with the Ward family until 1947, when the wife of food taster’s great-grandson offered the item to Derby Museum.
