Featured Nomination
Salisbury Cathedral
Salisbury Cathedral is unique. It boasts the tallest spire in England; the largest cloister; Europe's oldest working clock; and the Chapter House houses an original copy of the Magna Carta. The building work was completed within one century, giving the cathedral a unified feel unlike any other in England.
Permission was granted by the Pope in 1219 to move from the windy, exposed and inconvenient site at Old Sarum and to build a new cathedral at New Sarum (Salisbury).
