Magna Carta

My daughter and I took the short trip to Durham to look at the of the Magna Carta at the Palace Green Library, where around the only remaining copy of the 1216 Charter there was a whole exhibition of documents and artefacts on the “changing face of revolt”, taking in also the later charters, the English civil war, the Jacobite risings, the Great Reform Act, and the Chartists; all good stuff, as was the salmon & leek quiche, cup of tea and slice of lemon drizzle cake in the tucked away but comfortably appointed café.
