| Description | May Monarch robes and paraphernalia including flower circlets, accessories and shoes. |
| Administrative History | The dresses and robes made for the May Monarchs over the years reflect changes in contemporary fashion and are a unique feature of the Whitelands May Monarch festival. These changes are visible when former May Monarchs return for a new investiture. Each dress can be regarded as a work of art and the College possesses a valuable collection of robes bequeathed by former May Monarchs. |
