Based on Clause 39 of Magna Carta, and inspired perhaps by the inscription on [[John Keats]]' grave monument, artist [[Mark Wallinger]] designed ''Writ in Water'' to celebrate the legacy of Magna Carta. It combines sky, light and water creating a space for reflection both physically and contemplatively. Architects Studio Octopi installed the art work on Coopers Hill Slopes (accessible from Longmede) and it was unveiled on the 803rd anniversary of the sealing of the Great Charter.<ref>{{cite press release |title='Writ in Water' – New public artwork by Mark Wallinger is unveiled at Runnymede to celebrate the legacy of Magna Carta: Press Release |publisher=National Trust |date=14 June 2018 |access-date=19 June 2018 |url=https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/press-release/writ-in-water--new-public-artwork-by-mark-wallinger-is-unveiled-at-runnymede-to-celebrate-the-legacy-of-magna-carta?utm }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |first=Charlotte |last=Higgins |author-link=Charlotte Higgins |title=Sanctuary for human rights: Mark Wallinger's Magna Carta chamber |newspaper=The Guardian |date=15 June 2018 |access-date=19 June 2018 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2018/jun/15/laying-down-the-law-mark-wallingers-magna-carta-chamber }}</ref>
