A prominent artist has handed over a commemorative etching to celebrate the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta.
Maidstone artist Graham Clarke presented Cllr Owen Baldock, the Mayor of Tonbridge and Malling, with the artwork in a small ceremony at Tonbridge Castle this afternoon.
The castle is the former home of Richard de Clare, a baron who played a leading role in the negotiations for the Great Charter.
He was one of the 25 sureties behind the document, which was signed by King John.
