Tell it like it is
Salisbury 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.
Love my Nikon………………………………..

WOW!! If that did not confuse your camera then nothing will, quite amazing and oh the wealth. I just can’t help thinking about the people of that time and how much must have gone into it.
I love the buildings and the history but I do not have a lot of faith in Churches………..Ron xxx
It was fortunate that not too many people were around so I could get some images of perfect (I hope) reflections in the water – when you imagine that most masons and carpenters could not read or write when the Cathedral was first started it is even more amazing and awesome in the true sense of the word – once again, my friend, thank you for a lovely comment – xx Mattie xx
