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.

While incidents in local games may be rare, the voices of three referees in Lincolnshire underline a stark reality — the need for more action and enhanced education.
The issue is very topical this week after Tom Foley’s decision to step away from international match officiating for the foreseeable future after a “torrent of criticism and abuse,” but will continue to officiate in the Premiership.
Lincolnshire’s healthcare is preparing for winter with projects like acute respiratory hubs to address the expected surge in demand at this time of the year.
Rebecca Neno, Winter Director for the Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board, stressed the significance of these hubs for local respiratory care, addressing the NHS’s recurrent winter challenges. The Clinical Assessment Service, via the 111 helpline, swiftly connects Lincolnshire callers to local clinicians for home assessments.
