One bright summer day that year, Mrs Maude Froggatt, who was helping a friend to write a book about funeral hatchments in Britain, arrived at St Anne's church to do some research. As she was leaving the church at the end of the day, she walked past a skip full of rubbish. In it she noticed a piece of canvas.  So she started to dig through the skip. Eventually, she recovered what she later realised was Queen Charlotte’s hatchment!

As the church was now locked she decided to take the hatchment home.  She wrapped it in some old clothing which she found in the skip and boarded the train home. She cleaned the hatchment carefully and spent ages restoring it. Then one day in 2007 Mrs Froggatt heard that Queen Charlotte's hatchment, which had once been at Kew Palace, was missing. Mrs Froggatt immediately contacted Historic Royal Palaces. And now, thanks to a lucky series of coincidences, it is on display in Kew Palace for visitors to enjoy!
