Inside Salisbury

One of the great things about being a choir in residence is how much private time we get to spend inside the cathedral, and in areas that say "staff only" - the song room, vestry, and cathedral school to name a few.  Here are a few shots inside the cathedral.

Looking toward the west doors - notice that they're open for Pentecost!

The Quire

The High Altar

The Organ

Trinity Chapel - the first part of the Cathedral to be completed and consecrated in 1225.  The East Window is dedicated to Prisoners of Conscience of the 20th c. and made in 1980 by Gabriel Loire of Chartres.  The tomb in the foreground with the two candles is Osmund's.

The Baptismal Font - installed just this past fall, which has met with some controversy.  I think it is absolutely beautiful.  Notice how the reflection of the cathedral can be seen on the surface of the water.  Below is another shot to give you the idea.
