Magna Carta (1215) and Runnymede 2015

Riverside site of the sealing of Magna Carta

Seen by many as the birthplace of modern democracy, this picturesque open landscape beside the Thames was witness to King John’s historic sealing of the Magna Carta 800 years ago on 15 June 1215.

There is also a piece of land that is technically American!?
