The Textus Roffensis is on display in the cathedral crypt over these 3 days until Wednesday. To be honest I’m not really into history and old documents but it’s an important document, written a long time ago (1123) and is the erliest example we have of the written English language. Apparantly it is also the first laws to be written and is said to have influenced those who penned the Magna Carta.

So …. its free and if you are in the area why not pop into the cathedral to have a look. Even history- aversions like me will pop in for a look! More details of the exhibition here. I blogged about this here a little while ago as well.
