Cherry on the Cake

They are about to celebrate 750 years. Thats indeed a very long long time. The sight of the tallest surviving pre 1400 spire and was a great pleasure. It just didnt end there, being the easter weekend and the cathedral being the center of the diocese , the easter fire was lit early in the morning from here and most of the candles in the cathedral continued to burn even at 2:30 pm when I was there. The history of Pegasus - the flying horse of the mythologies or the para troop of the British Airforce of the World War 1, the oldest working mechanical clock are still in tact out there.

However the icing on the cake is the presence of the Magna Carta, one which influenced the the making of many constitutions and which does hold the ever so famous statement -
" None Will We Sell, To None Deny or Delay, Right or Justice".
