Completed and consecrated in 1258, Salisbury Cathedral is the finest example of early English ecclesiastical architecture in Britain. The film includes exterior and interior views of the cathedral - the nave, transepts, choir, High Altar and Lady Chapel, the close, cloisters, chapter house, clock and 404 ft spire. Music and commentary by Horace Shepherd.
