Salisbury Cathedral

 

Salisbury Cathedral is one of the ancient holy places in England. It has been a house of prayer and a place of pilgrimage for 750 years.

The Chapter House was probably modelled after that of Westminster Abbey. It was built in the second half of the 13th century as the meeting place of the Cathedral's governing body. It now houses one of the four surviving originals of the Magna Carta and other treasures.
Salisbury Cathedral was never monastic but the cloisters, built in the middle of the 13th Century, are the largest in any cathedral in England.
