Salisbury Cathedral the single most beautiful structure in England
Salisbury Cathedral, formally known as the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an Anglican cathedral in Salisbury, England, and one of the leading examples of Early English architecture. The main body of the cathedral was completed in only 38 years, from 1220 to 1258.
The cathedral has the tallest church spire in the United Kingdom (123m/404 ft). Visitors can take the Tower Tour where the interior of the hollow spire, with its ancient wood scaffolding, can be viewed. The cathedral also has the largest cloister and the largest cathedral close in Britain (80 acres (320,000 m2)). It contains the world's oldest working clock (from AD 1386) and has the best surviving of the four original copies of Magna Carta (all four original copies are in England). In 2008, the cathedral celebrated the 750th anniversary of its consecration.
The cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Salisbury and seat of the Bishop of Salisbury.

Travel Blog: UK Places - Salisbury
Here's a travel blog in the UK Places series, using my new kit - which makes all the difference to the quality and stability. This episode I am in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
The story of Salisbury began 2,500 years ago when an iron age fort was built on Salisbury Hill about 2 miles north of the modern town center. In the 6th century AD the Saxons invaded Wiltshire. In 552 Saxons and Celts fought a battle at Salisbury Hill. The Celts were defeated and fled westwards. The fort probably lay abandoned for centuries.
However by the early 11th century a settlement had grown up on the site of the old fort. In 1003 the Vikings raided Wilton some of the survivors may have fled to the safety of Salisbury Hill and founded a new settlement. The new town had a mint and a market.
About 1069 William the Conqueror built a wooden castle to overlook the settlement and keep the inhabitants in line. In 1075 a bishop moved his seat there. However Sarisberie, as it was called, was a small settlement, much smaller than nearby Wilton. It probably only had a population of a few hundred.
The modern town of Salisbury began about the year 1217 when the Bishop decided to move his seat to land owned by the church south of the hill. Perhaps there was friction between the clergy and the soldiers in the Norman castle. A shortage of water on the hill may have been another reason for the move. He created a new town on the plain. The Bishop laid out streets in a grid pattern and leased plots of land for building houses. So a new settlement grew up at Salisbury but the town at Old Sarum continued for centuries.
The new town of Salisbury was given a charter in 1227 (a charter was a document granting the townspeople certain rights). By 1219 Salisbury had a market and an annual fair. In Middle Ages fairs were like markets but they were held only once a year. People would come from all over Wiltshire to buy and sell at a Salisbury fair.
Medieval Salisbury was very successful. This was partly because it was on the road from Wilton to Southampton. It was also on the road from London to Exeter. (In those days Exeter was a large and important town and much traffic went between those two towns). In 1244 a stone bridge was built across the Avon, which increased the traffic flowing through Salisbury. Obviously travelers would stop at Salisbury and spend money in the town.
However the main industry in Medieval Salisbury was making wool cloth. The wool was woven. It was then fulled. Before it was dyed the wool was beaten in a mixture of water and clay to clean and thicken it. This was called fulling. Wooden hammers worked by watermills beat the wool.
Much of this wool was exported through Southampton. Salisbury grew to be one of the largest towns in England by the 15th century with a population of perhaps 8,000.
Work on Salisbury Cathedral began in 1220 and continued until 1258. The tower and spire were added in 1334. The Bishops Palace was also built in the 13th century. Then in 1269 Salisbury was divided into 3 parishes.
Meanwhile in the 13th century the friars arrived in Salisbury. The friars were like monks but instead of withdrawing from the world they went out to preach. In Salisbury there were 2 orders of friars, the Franciscans (called grey friars because of their grey costumes) and the Dominicans (known as black friars).
In the late 14th century the Hospital of the Holy Trinity was founded where monks cared for the sick and poor as best they could.
During the 17th century the wool industry in Salisbury slowly declined. The population of the town also declined slightly to about 7,000. Salisbury was a large and important town in the Middle Ages but by 1700 it had dwindled into a medium sized market town. On the other hand in 1612 Salisbury was given a new charter. This one made the town completely independent of the Bishop.
Like all towns in those days Salisbury suffered from outbreaks of the plague. It struck in 1563, 1604 and 1627.
However during the 18th century Salisbury remained a market town of only local importance. Cloth manufacture was still the main industry in Salisbury but it continued to gradually decline.
Furthermore Salisbury suffered outbreaks of smallpox in 1723 and in 1752.
In 1801 Salisbury had a population of 7,668. By the standards of the time it was a fair sized town. However Salisbury grew little in the early 19th century and had a population of less than 9,500 in 1851. In the later 19th century the population grew more rapidly. It reached 17,000 by 1901.
The population of Salisbury is 470,981 (as of 2011 census)
Salisbury Cathedral - Still Impressive After 800 Years
A visit to Salisbury Cathedral, my first time back to Salisbury since I was a kid.
Salisbury Cathedral in Wiltshire is an early English Gothic cathedral which was constructed over 38 years from 1220 to 1258.
The spire is 404 feet tall and since 1549 it has been the tallest church spire in the UK. The tallest spire was at Lincoln Cathedral but this collapsed in 1549, lucky Salisbury escaped the same fate. However, the columns of the central crossing are bowed and the spire does tilt southeast by around 27 inches.
Although, we are not religious, we still appreciate the skill and craftsmanship which created the cathedral. The scale of the building and the fact it was built by hand nearly 800 years ago is amazing.
Salisbury Cathedral is also home to the Magna Carta, the charter of rights dating from 1215 and famous as a symbol of justice, fairness, and human rights.
The area around the cathedral is very picturesque, unfortunately we had rain when were there. As it says in most Russian tourist guides, Salisbury Cathedral and Salisbury itself are definitely worth a visit.
There was a suggested donation of £7.50 to enter the Cathedral and no charge to get to the cloisters, visit the cafe are see the Magna Carta.
Other places nearby which are worth visiting are Old Sarum, an Iron Age fort and site of Salisbury’s first cathedral and not too far away is Spinal Tap’s favourite “Stonehenge!”

Vacation in the UK | Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral & Roman Baths
We visited Stonehenge, the mysterious pre-historic monument in Wiltshire on a chilly and windy morning.
From Stonehenge, we travelled to Salisbury Cathedral. The cathedral has the tallest church spire in the United Kingdom (123m/404 ft) and has four original copies of Magna Carta.
From Salisbury, we travelled to the picturesque Bath to see the famous Roman Baths. The original Roman Baths site is very well preserved and the children's audio guide narrated by Michael Rosen is interesting. The kids enjoyed the museum visit very much.

SALISBURY CATHEDRAL - Amazing Behind The Scenes Tour
While I may love luxury hotels, Michelin starred restaurants and First Class airplane cabins, it's the people I meet and things I get to do that make it great to be a travel writer. When I was in London, I took a day trip out to Wiltshire ( I visited the city of Bath and its Roman ruins, the incredible Salisbury Cathedral ( and finally, Stonehenge. Here's a tour of the cathedral.
Construction on Salisbury Cathedral started in 1220 and it has the same effect it did when it opened almost 800 years ago, it takes your breath away. If you go, be sure to do their Tower Tour, so you can go up into the structure above the floor, like I did. They also have an original copy of the Magna Carta, which is on display in the Chapter House.
