Salisbury Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an Anglican cathedral in Salisbury, England. The cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Salisbury and is the seat of the Bishop of Salisbury.
The building is regarded as one of the leading examples of Early English Gothic architecture.[3] Its main body was completed in 38 years, from 1220 to 1258. The tower and spire were completed by 1330;[4] it was heightened to 404 feet (123 m) and has been the tallest church spire in England since 1561.[5] The cathedral contains a clock which is among the oldest working examples in the world, and has one of the four surviving original copies of Magna Carta. In 2008, the cathedral celebrated the 750th anniversary of its consecration.[6]
