Please come and join us on Heritage Open Day, Saturday 12th September at 2.30pm, as we are lucky enough to have one of our volunteer key holders, James Simister, to give us a half-hour talk entitled ‘Magna Carta, and changes in the Church’.
James has an Honours History degree from Southampton University, and says; ‘The crisis of 1215 forced King John to make far-reaching and unprecedented concessions. Thus began the development of Parliament and the Rule of Law, and Magna Carta has inspired the international growth of human rights and due legal process.’
There will be a small Magna Carta exhibition, and refreshments.
