Dear Members and Followers,
Monday saw the Magna Carta turn 800 years old. Magna Carta meaning 'the Great Charter' - Latin, is a charter agreed by King John of England at Runnymede, near Windsor on June 15, 2015.
In the 21st century, four exemplifications of the original 1215 charter remain in existence, held by the British Library and the cathedrals of Lincoln and Salisbury.
And to think, it is still "alive" after 800 years without a computer needed!
