With his political ideals of liberty and justice in mind, the 11th
Duke opted for a Gothic restoration of Arundel Castle in the
1790s, including a carved stone relief of King Alfred instituting
Trial by Jury. The great Barons Hall at Arundel Castle was
originally built by the Duke in commemoration of the Magna
Carta Barons. He also hosted a lavish party at Arundel Castle
in 1815 to commemorate the 600th anniversary or Magna
Carta.
