Gleeson White’s guide to Salisbury Cathedral, part of Bell’s English cathedral series, covers one of the purest examples of Early English Gothic architecture anywhere in the British Isles. Built almost entirely in a single campaign between 1220 and 1320, Salisbury is distinguished by its soaring spire — still the tallest in Britain — and the harmonious unity of its design.
White’s description traces the building’s architectural history, its medieval furnishings, and the history of the See of Sarum from its origins. Download the free EPUB for an authoritative architectural and historical guide to one of England’s greatest cathedrals.
