Salisbury Cathedral

Spent a wonderful day visiting Salisbury Cathedral with friends at the weekend. No end of photo opportunities and a chance to see one of four surviving copies of the Magna Carta.



















A very kind lady named Margret offered to take this cushion embossed with my name on outside so I could photograph it. I found it in the chamber where the Magna Carta is kept, where no photos are allowed. It costs £12,000 a day to keep the Cathedral running and most of the workers there are people like Margret who kindly volunteer their time.




Following up culture with that other activity we Brits do well.
