A little information about Surrey
The Magna Carta at Runnymede, Surrey
One only has to watch a YouTube video where someone is arguing with an official or a police officer and the erosion of their civil rights and it won't be too long before you hear the term Magna Carta mentioned. What exactly is the Magna Carta and what is its connection with the county of Surrey?
On the 15th June 1215, a Surrey meadow was to become the historic setting for one of the defining events in English history, this is particularly relevant for law scholars too.
That fateful day King John gave his assent to a Charter of Liberties limiting and controlling his royal power. The king was pressured into signing by many disgruntled and rebellious Barons and he was not remotely happy about signing it at all. The Charter is now known throughout the world as Magna Carta.
The full and correct title in medieval latin was Magna Carta Libertatum, literally meaning Great Charter of Freedoms, but frequently shortened to simply Magna Carta.
Opposition to King John
The events that led up to the meeting at Runnymede Surrey began with local opposition to the kings levying of taxes to pay for his many war campaigns in 1214. The resistance began in the north of England and spread to East Anglia. By the beginning of 1215, as King John refused the rebels demands, England sat on a knife edge of civil war. At Stony Stratford the rebels renounced their oaths of homage to the king, essentially declaring war on him. Ordinarily this would amount to treason and the death penalty, but as the opposition to the king was by now so widespread, the the rebels were instead able to force their agenda upon the unwilling king. With the fall of London to the barons in May, King John was obliged to negotiate. He moved from Odiham in Hampshire to Windsor, while the advance guard of the barons moved west to Staines. Runnymede in Surrey was where the two sides met, as it was half way between and considered neutral ground.
Surrey becomes etched in history
On June 15 in a formal peace making ceremony in the Surrey meadow of Runnymede, King John gave grudgingly gave his assent to the Charter of Liberties. Four days later oaths were sworn by the two sides to observe the terms of the Charter, and the barons then renewed their homage to the king. The signing of Magna Carta ended one civil war, and it was shortly to start another, the war of Magna Carta. It was not until 1225, when King Johns son Henry III reissued the charter, that it achieved official status and became Englands basic law, in essence the charter was the foundation of a set of ground rules that determined the effective working of political society.
Now this is where the YouTube activists tend to fall flat as only four clauses of the original 1215 version of Magna Carta remain on the statute book today. These are clauses 1 and 13, guaranteeing the liberties of the Church and the City of London respectively, and the famous clauses 39 and 40, which assure free and fair justice. Many social justice activists today try to twist Magna Carta to their own ends, insisting various rights under this ancient charter made many hundreds of years before in a peaceful Surrey meadow.
Although much of the charter has been eroded by subsequent legislation and common law principles, it remains the cornerstone of our liberties, a source of inspiration for people all over the world seeking liberty, and a reminder of the importance of the rule of law in shaping our society. Runnymede in Surrey, where the terms of the Charter were agreed, is for many a hallowed and much visited site. This quiet Surrey location was acquired for all to visit and enjoy in 1929 and is today owned and maintained by the National Trust.
Magna Carta memorial in Surrey
Nestling in a grassed enclosure, on the slopes of Coope's Hill, sits a memorial with a domed classical style monopteros, containing a pillar of English granite on which is inscribed with 'To commemorate Magna Carta, symbol of Freedom Under Law'. The memorial was created by the American Bar Association, rather strange at first as this was an English historical event, that happened on English soil. However, as the American justice system grew up from the English system it is maybe not so surprising after all. The memorialt was unveiled on 18 July 1957 at a ceremony attended by American and English lawyers.
In 2007, on its 50th anniversary, the American Bar Association again visited Runnymede in Surrey. During its convention it installed as President Charles Rhyne, who devised Law Day, which in the USA represents an annual reaffirmation of faith in the forces of law for peace. Floodlights were installed in 2008 to light the memorial at night.
In 2015, in anticipation of the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta, the two wooden benches at the memorial were replaced by stone benches. On 15 June, the anniversary day, the American Bar Association, accompanied by the United States Attorney General, rededicated the memorial in a ceremony led by The Princess Royal in the presence of the Queen and other members of the Royal family.
