Salisbury Cathedral, officially-known as The Cathedral Church of The Blessed Virgin Mary, is an Anglican Cathedral in Salisbury, England, and one of the leading examples of Early-English Architecture. The main body of the Cathedral was completed in only thirty-eight years, from 1220 to 1258.
Since 1549, the Cathedral has had the tallest Church Spire in The United Kingdom, at 404 feet
(123 m). Visitors can take the "Tower Tour", where the Interior of the hollow Spire, with its ancient wood scaffolding, can be viewed.

It contains the World's oldest working Clock (from 1386) and has the best surviving of the four original copies of Magna Carta. In 2008, the Cathedral celebrated the 750th Anniversary of its Consecration.
