Magna Carta - Find a freedom of information request

If so can I please request the following information.

1.Can I have the full known history of your copy of the Magna Carta within Lincoln and what references you have to support this.

2. I would like to know what evidence you have that Hugh of Lincoln was "present at the sealing of the Magna Carta"

3.Whom also present at this sealing have given this same account and who was keeping a diary of Hugh of Lincolns activities at the time and do you have the original manuscripts/diaries/ or whatever recorded this account?

4.I'm just trying to figure out how an 800 year old document has survived all that time, what evidence you have that it has always been in the cathedrals possession all that time.

5.Whether you have carried out any tests on the document such as carbon dating to see how old it is. I'm pretty certain it would not survive 800 years in that condition.

6.Can you please tell me what kind of paper it is printed on and with what ink it is written.

7.Are you aware of any other paper this age that have survived this long that the "Church" does not own?

8.Under the foi act can I request how the magna carta document was stored for over 800 years until it has been on display.

9.Can I also ask are there any known original documents or early writings mentioning this document being at Lincoln cathedral that are written in the original handwriting with the date

10.Can I please add any response such as "it is known" "it is understood" "it is our belief" etc or the use of fictional characters without any credible original documentation to support their existence will not be an acceptable answer.

I'm only looking for the facts of that Magna Carta document because its an extremely bold statement to make that the document is over 800 years old and in very good condition.
