Magna Carta – The Aynho Connection
You’ve probably heard that it will be the 800th anniversary of King John putting his seal on the Magna Carta at Runnymead on 15th June this year. What you may not know is that the Lord of the Manor of Aynho from 1212 to 1242, John FitzRobert, was chosen as one of the 25 barons to go to Runnymead to witness this event. The original Magna Cara is written in Medieval Latin, so vitually no one today can understand it. Aynho History Society has a copy of the whole document written in English. Please come to the Church Fete on Saturday 13th June on the Sports Field 1.0-4.0pm just two days before this anniversary. The document will be freely available for you to look at in the History Society’s display.
