About This Book

A concise architectural and historical account of Salisbury's medieval cathedral and its episcopal see, tracing the foundation and relocation from an earlier site and recounting associated traditions. The text systematically describes exterior and interior fabric — tower and spire, west front, nave, choir, transepts, chapter house, cloisters, chapels, monuments, stained glass, and fittings — and is illustrated with plans and photographs. Supplemental sections cover the cathedral precincts, library and muniments, the diocesan history, and a chronological list of bishops, intended for both students and visitors.
