Nice place for a trip. Just one hour from London Waterloo Station It´s one of the most beautiful towns u could visit in England. Specially at Chrismas. Apart from that, the cathedral is astonishing. I´m not very keen on religion but architecture is different. Besides, in England there are a different point of view regarding to the use of churches. At Christmas time these are places of meeting, tea cups, Christmas trees and carols.
The first Salisbury Cathedral was built at Old Sarum by St Bishop Osmund between 1075 and 1092. Thus the city of New Sarum, known as Salisbury, was founded in 1220, and the building of the new cathedral begun by Bishop Richard Poore in that year. The main body was completed in only 38 years and is a masterpiece of Early English architecture. The cathedral library contains the best preserved of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta.In 1386, a large mechanical clock was installed at Salisbury Cathedral, the oldest surviving mechanical clock in Britain.
These kids were preparing for a Christmas concert and it was delightful hearing them. The teacher was a Rottenmaier telling them off the whole time.
