Magna Carta
Windsor Rd, Old Windsor, Englefield Green, Windsor TW20 0YU, UK
Magna Carta originated in 1215 as a peace treaty between King John and a group of rebellious barons
The original document was written in Latin on parchment made from animal skin
Also a chance to walk in the field of Magna Carta: Runnymede, the meadow where history was made
The name didn't emerge until the document's re-issue in 1217. It became known as 'The Great Charter' to differentiate it from the smaller 'Charter of the Forest' issued at the same time
the founding fathers of America turned to Magna Carta for inspiration and guidance when they drew up the US constitution, and so they celebrate the Runnymede parchment.
