Salisbury Cathedral London is undoubtedly Britain's most famous 13th century Gothic Cathedral. The enormous and lofty spire grabs your attention and once you reach the Cathedral, the stonework that has gone towards creating such an architecturally evolved church is in itself a wonderful experience.
The Cathedral is situated in the midst of a cluster of monumental buildings and edifices. It is enclosed by eight acres of busy green lawns and you can't differentiate much between walking on a carpet or walking on grass.
It is believed that 60,000 tons of the finest quality of Chilmark stone and more than 10,000 tons of the very best of purbeek stone were used for building the Cathedral. Of the four surviving Magna Carta, the one at Salisbury Cathedral is the best preserved. Apart from this, the Cathedral's clock, which dates back to 1386 AD and now located in the magnificent Bell is the oldest working clock.
Being a pioneering church in Britain, the Salisbury Cathedral was the first to introduce the Cathedral School. As far as choirs for girls are concerned, Salisbury Cathedral was the first to introduce an exclusive girl's choir.
The music and worship are sublime and the Salisbury Cathedral attracts more than 500,000 visitors each year.
The Cathedral maintains records of people who have been married, baptized or buried in the Cathedral and the records are provided to any body from the general public who might want to know more about his ancestors/ family members or friends.
