The Jurors @ Runnymede
When I set out to visit Runnymede I had two very clear objectives. They were to visit both the JFK and Magna Carta memorials.

I had acquired a third objective. A sort of Runnymede bonus.

No, it was because of seeing the memorial stone in such a weathered condition.

Evidence that could be brought into the courtroom of history to once and for all answer those perennial one word drivers of journalism: who, what, why and how.
