Where the Magna Carta was sealed.

Known as a sacred text and the start of human rights, it was intended to limit the King’s power and it inspired the Constitution. The land has commemorative symbols of democracy and monuments of equality, and was donated to the national trust by an American, Lady Fairhaven also known as Cara Leland Rogers Duff Broughton. Cara Leland Rogers Duff married Boughton an Englishman who later became a member of Parliament. She also purchased and donated Fort Phoenix, the land of the American Revolutionary War in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. They married in 1895 and sailed to England on Christmas Day…which I am sure took considerable time, and I was thinking the 20 hours to travel to England from Texas was long.
