In 1923 British social reformer Eglantyne Jebb drafted proposals that led to the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNDRC). This relief depicts a classroom of multi-ethnic boys and girls being taught about the 1989 convention. 'The Jurors' is a public art installation (within the meaning of CDP Act) comprising 12 chairs at Runnymede Meadows where the Magna Carta was sealed in 1215. The artwork was commissioned by Surrey County Council to mark the 800th anniversary of the sealing of the Great Charter. The artist & sculptor Hew Locke created 12 bronze chairs decorated with imagery and symbols of current and past struggles for the rule of law, equal rights and freedom. The artwork was inaugurated by HRH Prince William during the Magna Carta 800th Anniversary celebrations on 15th June 2015. Cast at Meltdowns Foundry and assembled by Situations Art Organisation. Images taken around dawn and during the day of the Summer Solstice 2015.
