Audio tour of Salisbury Cathedral
The purest Gothic building in England
Salisbury is one of the best known of England's cathedrals, and it deserves its fame - it's a marvellous work of the early Gothic, a simple yet elegant style. Almost the only thing to be added after the original building was the delicate spire for which it's celebrated - otherwise, you can see it now almost as it was on the day of its consecration in 1258.
But the cathedral also contains a marvellous display of tombs and chantry chapels from later periods - a complete education in architectural style and the history of costume! 
Our podtour™ will take you through the cathedral, explaining the architecture and taking you into the world of the medieval bishops. On our way we see some fine tombs, some delightful glass engravings, and find out how one shrine held the bodies of both a saint and a sinner - at different times.
