I had never been to Salisbury Cathedral before and what a joy it was, even though our visit was somewhat rushed. It is a splendid example of Medieval architecture, and the start of the restoration to the once colourful roof reminds me of an old fashioned carousel, in a good not a bad way, in case you were wondering.
One of the joys for me at least was the number of angels, both inside and out, here are just a few examples.
The rederos in the Chapel of St Michael and All Angels is magnificent!
We paid a quick visit to the chapter house too - no photographs allowed in there - one of the original copies of the Magna Carta is housed in that grand setting, the document itself however is small and rather unassuming. One day I hope to get back and spend some more time there.
