Mmm ... Lincolnshire Baron
Mmm ... Lincolnshire Baron
Lincoln Barons' Charter Trail sculpture by The Museum of Lincolnshire Life in the former Burton Road Barracks, painted by Carolyn Short, representing William de Forz LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link )

It depicts the very best of Lincolnshire food produce - Lincolnshire sausages, potatoes, plum bread, haslet, brassicas, Lincolnshire Poacher cheese, Oslinc ostrich meat and the finest uniquely Lincolnshire delicacy Stuffed Chine.

William de Forz, Earl of Albemarle, was the only baron to side with King John after the king rejected Magna Carta. He fought against Henry III and at one point was excommunicated. He later became loyal and was an ambassador for the king. He died at sea on his way to the crusades in the Holy Land in 1242.
Lincoln Barons' Charter Trail

800 years ago in June 1215, Magna Carta was sealed by King John in the presence of 25 Barons at Runnymede and Lincoln has one of four copies of ‘The Great Charter’. As part of the 800th anniversary celebrations, the Lincoln Barons Charter Trail LinkExternal link presents sculptures by Chris Wilkinson in the style of a Lewis chess piece, decorated by local artists and sponsored by local businesses. The trail passes through the heart of historic Lincoln where the 25 Lincolnshire-themed colourful sculptures are sited at significant locations for three months from June 13th to September 13th 2015 before being auctioned on behalf of The Trussell Trust LinkExternal link
