Magna Carta in Lincoln

LINCOLN CASTLE has one of the only four original copies of #MagnaCarta

It can be seen there in a new visitor centre which opened on April 1.

The centre also features a 'wall of words' on which each word of the 1215 document is translated into modern English, plus a cinema screen to tell the document's story. 

Also on display is one of only two surviving original copies of the Charter of the Forest, issued in 1217 to amplify Magna Carta.
