It was great being able to go inside and look round this wonderful church. Seeing the wall paintings was just out of this world and the wooden ceilings are second to none.

Well worth the visit to see the medieval fresco of the Last Judgement - it will be even more stunning when the restoration is finished.

the famous 'Doom Painting' remains from Medieval times: displaying [where you cannot miss seeing it] the fate awaiting the good and the bad, when the Day of Judgement arrives. Graphic scenes of devils dragging people down, while the ones who led a good life are shown being comforted. The church is very central in Salisbury: a venue for marvellous concerts,... More

Worth a visit inside if walking through the city centre. Windows interesting. Pretty setting. Tower is a good reference point if lost in town.

like they say: if you have seen one church, you have seen them all, but this one is a pretty little church and it is nice to go in if you are walking around in Salisbury, especially as there are not many things to do in town.

Beautiful church to just visit and look around. I also went back on the saturday. It had a book sale. Many great quality books for good prices. They also had a coffee time between about 10 and 1 on a saturday. I think it was about 1.50 for my coffee, and it was beautiful. Lovely flavour.

Vibrant and welcoming. Very interesting church building. Plenty going on in the church community including various outreach activities. On the day we went information was being provided about Amnesty International and North Korea. Saturday morning coffee with home-made cakes was inexpensive and of a high standard. . There is a modern, clean toilet with baby-changing facilities. The second-hand bookstall was... More

Call in if you can. Not on the scale or grandeur of the Cathedral but a very historic church with a very calm atmosphere
