AN EVENT to mark the granting of a Royal Charter to Abingdon will take place today.
The town was given the honour in 1556 by Mary I following the dissolution of Abingdon Abbey.
Students from John Mason School will join the town archivist, councillors, representatives of County Hall Museum, the civic society and others to learn about aspects of heritage of the town.
