Collections & Research

With one of the finest collections of regimental silver split between Knightsbridge and Windsor, see the ‘crown jewels’ of the collection here at Whitehall- including our William III drums and the Zetland Trophy.

I had a chance to visit this museum and was not disappointed. The exhibit on saddles and tack is adjacent to the stable and you get a chance to watch the work going on in the stables. These young men take great pride in their responsibilities as soldiers and keepers of these fine horses. The exhibits were extraordinary and well done. A must-see!
