Present locationRoyal Collection

The so-called cradle of Henry V, now in the British Royal Collection, is, according to tradition, the cradle in which the newborn Henry of Monmouth, later to be King Henry V of England, was placed. The cradle, for many years in the Rectory in Newland, Gloucestershire, was bought at auction in 1908 by King Edward VII, and was later loaned to the London Museum by George V. The cradle was on display in the London Museum and its successor the Museum of London until 2005, when it was returned to the Royal Collection. It is now believed to date from a century later than the time of Henry V, but is still considered to be a unique example of a medieval cradle made for a baby of noble birth.
