On to Salisbury

We were able to take pictures inside this cathedral. There are grave stones on the floor and crypts along the sides. It would be like having church in a graveyard. Chairs are often on the stones.

William outside the cathedral built in 1220 and site of the finest of four surviving original copies of the Magna Carta.
See the old graffiti on the figure's ankle? WB swears it was not him.
One of many gravestones on the floor of the cathedral.
A tomb of a knight.

That was his faithful dog at his feet. Ugly dog. I don't think they actually put the dog in the casket though.
