Salisbury Cathedral England tallest spire

Salisbury Cathedral, is an Anglican cathedral in Salisbury, England. The building is regarded as one of the leading examples of Early English Gothic architecture.Its main body was completed in 38 years, from 1220 to 1258.

The spire, built in 1320, at 404 feet has been the tallest church spire in the United Kingdom since 1561.The cathedral has the largest cloister and the largest cathedral close in Britain at 80 acres . It also holds the best surviving of the four original copies of Magna Carta. In 2008, the cathedral celebrated the 750th anniversary of its consecration.

 

Strange that this quiet cathedral town would be the site of chemical terrorism undertaken by Putins thugs that led to death of an innocent English woman and the serious injury of two the targets of this assassination attempt . It also put a whole city in fear of their lives for a period. The excuse that the two people from Russias secret service were just visiting Salisbury to see the cathedral is so absurd its laughable . Still the tourism excuse got used again in the United States the mob who stormed the capitol were apparently just interested visitors . Bare faced lying is very much in vogue it seems
