The Seal of King John
"No freeman shall be taken, nor imprisoned, nor disseized, nor outlawed, nor exiled, nor destroyed in any manner; nor will we pass upon him, nor condemn him, but by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land. We will sell to none, we will deny nor delay to none right and justice". - Magna Carta 39-40
This 790 year old document, one of only four surviving originals sealed by King John after his meeting with the Barons at Runnymede in 1215, is housed in the Victorian Prison Building of Lincoln Castle.
Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest Exhibition
The Magna Carta and The Charter of the Forest are both currently on display within the Charters of Liberty exhibition. The new exhibition includes various activities for children, a brighter and fresher look, and some really engaging displays that show just how relevant Magna Carta is to our lives today.
