  • Salisbury Cathedral is unique amongst medieval English cathedrals having been built in just 38 years (1220 - 1258) in a single architectural style, early English Gothic. The tower and spire (Britain's tallest) were added about 50 years later. The building itself is remarkable, a testimony to the faith and practical skills of those who erected it.
    But it is much more than a historical monument. It is a living church and a place of prayer. As the Cathedral Church of the Salisbury diocese it is Mother Church of several hundred parishes in Wiltshire and Dorset. It is also a centre of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
    This short film is narrated by David Oakes, with photography and editing by Ash Mills. The organist was Daniel Cook playing Louis Vierne First Symphony Final mvt. #1

    I was lucky enough to visit England in 1990 & did take a day trip to Salisbury & Stonehenge. I thoroughly enjoyed England & the people & Salisbury. I only wish that I could return there for a much longer stay & see much more than I was able to all those years ago. Currently unemployed, can't pay my mortgage, & facing oblivion.

    Read the novel ‘Sarum’ which inspired me to have a look. Visited on a bitterly cold winter day. Loved every second. Wandered around for hours, then had lunch in town and got the last train back to Fareham. Amazing place.

      It's very good but Durham is the best - the finest example of norman architecture in the world, it, and the castle the first ever UK World Heritage Site. It continually takes all the awards for best UK cathedral year after year. It also has a copy of the magna carta etc. I look forward to my next visit to Salisbury Cathedral in 2019!
