What is the City of London and why can’t the Queen come in? Why do so many London neighborhoods end in –gate? Why is Temple Church round? And what did those secretive Knights Templar do here? And what does all of this have to do with Magna Carta — and why has a copy remained at Salisbury Church for 800 years?
