Salisbury Cathedral and the Magna Carta

After visiting Stonehenge on our first full day in England, we drove to the historic city of Salisbury. We paid a visit to the medieval Salisbury Cathedral, a wonder in itself, which houses one of the last four original copies of the Magna Carta. This pivotal document, written in the early 1200s, formed the basis for our modern practices of due process, and has influences many governing documents in the centuries since.
