Looking through the catalogue for the Hew Locke career spanning exhibition Passages, at the Yale Centre for British Art, I came across his commission for twelve chairs to commemorate Magna Carta at Runnymede.

Here is the National Trust's page which includes a slide show about all 12 chairs.

Absolutely fascinating & brilliant work which if you are near Runnymede would definitely be worth visiting!

@ChrisMayLA6 I was struck when I visited Runnymede that Elizabeth Windsor celebrated 800 years of Magna Carta with her "subjects."

Perhaps not much has changed since 1215. #notmyking
