Ireland has its own set of Crown Jewels dating back to the 19th century – but no one knows where they are.

These jewels, officially known as Jewels Belonging to the Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick were given to the Irish in 1831 by King William IV.

“Occasionally when the monarch would come over, they would don them at the parties and balls here,” Mr Durham said. “He was the Ulster King of Arms, which was effectively the Herald – he was in charge of the jewels and organising ceremonies.” While the safe housing the Crown Jewels were kept in Sir Vicars’ library, there were only two keys in existence to open the safe – one Sir Vicars always had and one in his home in Clonsky.
