Salisbury Cathedral, formally 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 38 years, from 1220 to 1258, and because of this short gestation period, it is a fine example of a single architectural style, English Gothic.
The Diocese of Salisbury had an earlier cathedral at Old Sarum a few miles away but this was replaced by the present cathedral when the bishops had moved to Salisbury. The foundation stone was laid on 28 April 1220.[5] Due to the high water level in the new location, the cathedral was built on only four feet of foundation. By 1258 the nave, transepts and quire (choir) were complete. The west front was ready by 1265. The cloisters and chapter house were completed around 1280. DxO Optics Pro 9 ELITE.

The oldest Methodist building in the world - the New Room, also known as "John Wesley's Chapel". The New Room was built in 1739 and enlarged in 1748. <br />
This window looks down into the Chapel: It is thought that John Wesley sometimes stood here to observe the preachers below. The 8 sided window, known as a "Lantern" allows a large amount of light into the room and into the Chapel below. The glass is authentic and is believed to be 260 years old.
Shot inside the Village of Lacock, Wiltshire, England. This village is owned by the National Trust and contains an eclectic mix of architectural styles. No building is more recent than the 18th century and many are two or three hundred years older.
Once a centre for cloth weaving, the village lies in a hollow and is approached through a deep valley, shaded by tall trees.The houses and cottages, church and 15th century market cross are all of mellow, honey-coloured Cotswold stone. The roofs are pitched steeply to allow rain and snow to drain off the porous stone tiles.
