<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sylvester, post: 114762, member: 708&quot;]I had a list of where they&#039;ve been held from about 1953 to about 1998 or so. Of course the monarch giving out the maundy sets is a relatively new thing, i believe Elizabeth II was the first to do it (maybe George VI did it as well?). The current Queen handed out the 1952 George VI sets though, as he&#039;d been dead a few months by that point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another interesting fact is that up until 1909 maundy sets could also be purchased from banks at face value. However, in 1909 they put a stop to that and only had the hand out ones done by some important person (not the monarch). Who exactly did hand out the Maundy sets though before it became the monarch&#039;s role is a good question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
