Salisbury ...........the tallest spire of any church in England [or possibly 
the UK]. The cathedral inside and out is awe inspiring.  The immediately 
surrounding row house residential properties are some of the most sought 
after in the nation. Not a place to be missed.

The Dean of Salisbury Cathedral is an [Anglican] lady priest...... perhaps 
she is more enlightened about allowing visitors to record their memories on 
film or chips free of cost than her society colleagues in the big city!
