It is about Hampton Court's commission for a replica crown of HenryVIII, the original was destroyed by Oliver Cromwell when he came to power.
A couple of my friends, David Stevens and Graham Harling of David Graham Goldsmiths, were the craftsmen who made this replica, although they do not get any credits in this film. The crown had to be made using traditional methods as used by goldsmiths in the 16th century.
