Salisbury Cathedral

Biggest cloister east, west or anywhere else near the Pennines. Huge,the largest in England and in excellent nick.
Raining and raining so we just had to go into the Cathedral. Quite different from a lot of others as it was built in only 38years so has a consistent style. High gothic.
Has the oldest mechanic clock in the world built in 1338 and still running. No face, just clanged the hours. Has been moved severally times and ended in the Cathedral. Amazing.

Cathedral also has one of only four existing copies of the original 40 copies of the Magna Carter.

It’s shown in the Cathedral Chapter House which is very cool with Bible stories carved around the wall.

Great way to get out of the rain........Read more
