Those exploring Lincoln in the 800th summer since the sealing of the Magna Carta can walk in the footsteps of King John and his barons
The Lincoln Barons Charter Trail is one of a host of activities marking the anniversary of the document, of which Lincoln is home to one of the four remaining copies.
Lincoln’s Magna Carta copy is owned by the city’s cathedral and can be viewed in the new state-of-the-art vault at Lincoln Castle.
The Lincolnite took on the barons challenge with a photography feature on the 25 locations along the trail.
Each baron has a letter. Those taking part in the trail can put the 25 letters together to make a phrase and win a bag of milk chocolate coins.
The barons will be in the city until September 13.

‘Tuesday at Two’ free guided tours are also available, taking parties to each 6ft baron on display.
Any donations received on the tours will go towards the Mayor’s charity LIVES.
