Last Wednesday morning I had the good fortune to visit Salisbury Cathedral, which is making much of the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta. Over the centuries, the cathedral has cared well for its copy of King John's "Great Charter" of rights under the law, and it is arguably the best version of the four originals that still exist. To mark the anniversary, the twin virtues of human rights and tourism are elegantly combined in an exhibition that draws you through the Cloister to the Chapter House – the loftily spiritual home for this powerful document.
