Magna Carta in St Albans for 800th Anniversary

A copy of the original Magna Carta is to appear in St Albans for the first time, to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the city’s link with the charter.

The charter will be displayed in a climate controlled environment at St Albans Cathedral in August.
