Salisbury Cathedral is notable for several reasons:
• as a refined example of early English Gothic architecture;
• for the speed of its completion (1220-1258);
• for its remarkable 123m spire, still the tallest in England and;
• for its situation in a watery meadow bordered to the south and west by the River Avon.
For more on the fabric & history of this remarkable building with some additional photos — including one of the four remaining original copies of the Magna Carta — please download the PDF album (opens in a new tab: click the down-arrow at the top of the screen to download. About 22mb.)
Most of these images were taken with an OM Systems OM-1 camera and an Olympus 12-100 f/4.0 lens. Some were taken with my Pixel 9 camera (can you guess which?).
