Summary

Pair of lodges by Sir Edwin Lutyens 1930-32.

History

The two lodges are situated at the north end of Runnymede Meadows. They were commissioned by Lady Fairhaven from the architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in memory of her husband Sir Urban Broughton MP, who was known for his charitable works.

Magna Carta, which means 'Great Charter', was sealed at Runnymede on 15th June 1215. This was an agreement between King John and his barons and clergy which, for the first time, made the Monarch subject to the rules of the land. It also gave free men the right to justice and a fair trail. Over the subsequent 800 years it has influenced many constitutional documents including the United States' Bill of Rights.

Runnymede today is a memorial landscape to the on-going struggle for democracy and liberty.
