The town is lighted with gas from works erected in 1866. The church of St. Michael the .Archangel is a -s•tone building, consistin~ of chancel with chapels, cleres'toried nave of five bays, aisles and north and south porches, over each of which is a parvise and •square western flower 100 feet high, surmountted at the angles by four lofty pinna.cle·s a.nd contains 6 musical bells, clock and chimes : the chancel is separated from the nave by a beautifully carved oak screen: in a Gothic niche over the north porch is the' figure Qf a saint : the chantry chapels are the oldest part, which is of the 14th century; one is used as the vestry and the other for daily pr'a.yer : in the ·south chapel is a very an~ient brass to .John Bettes:th•orne, who died in 1398 : .there are traces of Early English work (albout the year 1220) in the buttresses at the ·east end and in the corbels which formerly came under the eaves, and are to be seen in the svuth chancel wall: the present chancel and: the nort.h and south chapels were builit in the 14th century with some portiOJlS of the church, •but there was apparently a great remodelling Q{ the church when the tower was built about· the middle of the 15th century: there are 6oo sittings: in 1883 the churchyoard was levelled and planrted with shrubs and flowers. The registers are in a good state of preservation, and date :from 1572, and the churchwardens' books, 'Still preserved, date from 1556. The living is a vioorage, average rt:ithe rent-charge £295, net yearly value £220, with re•sidence, in rthe gift of the Bishop of Salisbury, and he:rd since 1890 by the Rev. .J~hn .A.ugusJtus Uoyd M . .A. of St . .John's College, Oxford, oflnd surrogate.

SALISBURY, or New Sarum, is a city, municipal and parliamentary borough, on the old road to Exeter, and is the head of a diocese, petty sessional division and county court district, in the Southern division of the county, union of Alderbury, rural deanery of Wilton, archdeaconry of Sarum and diocese of Salisbury, 82 miles from London, or 83 by railway through Basingstoke, 95 through Eastleigh, 93 north-east from Exeter, 29 north-west from Southampton, 37 north from Bournemouth, 23 south from Devizes, 27 from Marlborough, 14~ from Romsey and 28~ west from Winchester. The city is built in the valley at the junction of four rivers-the Avon, Wiley, Nadder and Bourne. The Avon formerly sent off small clear streams through most of the ·Streets ; but these canals, as they were locally termed, are now filled up and stopped. The extensive sewa~e and other sanitary improvements of the Board of Health have effectively drained ev.ery part of the city; on the south-east side, sewage disposal works were completed in 1885 at a cost of £ro,ooo. Extensive waterworks were constructed in 1853, on the northeast of the city, at a cost of about £r4,ooo, and the water, which, according to analysis, is considered of very pure quality, is raised by an engine from two wells to a height of about Ioo feet into a covered reservoir at Bishopsdown Hill, distant about a quarter of a mile ; additional machinery and a new engine house were erected and a new well sunk in r894, at a further cost of £5,200: the works are under the mana.gement of the Urban Sanitary Authority. The works of the Fisherton Anger and Bemerton Water Works Co. on the Devizes road, supply part of the suburbs of the city. The Milford Water Works Co. Limited, erected works to the north-east of the city in 188g. The streets intersect each other at right angles, forming a series of quadrangles, called the Chequers, the houses in each quadrangle facing outwards, and the interior laid out in courts and gardens. The Market place, in the centre of the city, is a spacious square of 2! acres, surrounded by good shops. · Salisbury was first incorporated by Henry III. but its charter was confirmed and extended by Queen Anne. The municipal borough comprises the following parishes : -St. Edmund (Salisbury), part of St. Martin (Salisbury), St. Thomas (Salisbury), part of Fisherton Anger parish, part of Milford tithing, and the liberty of the close of the Canons of the Cathedral. Under the Municipal Act the city is divided into 3 wards, and the council consists of 24 members, who also act as the urban sanitary authority. The city has a commission of the peace and separate court of quarter sessions and its own police. The parliamentary borough comprises in addition another portion of Fisherton Anger parish, added by the "Boundary Act, 1868 :" it returned two members to Parliament, but by the "Redistribution of Seats Act, 1885,'' the number was reduced to one, and the area extended by including the remainder of Fisherton Anger parish and a portion of Milford. The South ·western railway from Basingstoke to Exeter passes through Salisbury, and connects it with· London, and their line through Romsey gives communication with Southampton and Portsmouth ; and there is a line from the city to a junction near Ringwood, on the Southampton and Dorsetshire line, which places it in connection with Christchurch and Bournemouth. The Great ·western has a station here on the Salisbury and Westbury branch, connecting the city with the coal fields of Somersetshire and with Bath and Bristol. North of the city is a desolate mound, arising abruptly from the valley on the west, and its eastern side connected with a ridge of the Downs ; its deep fosses and stupendous earthen ramparts, nearly a mile in circumference, mark the site of Old Sarum, now called Old Castle, or Castle Hill. The name is said to mean, in British, a dry situation. There is reason for believing it to have been a stronghold of the Belgre, who inhabited the western counties of Hants, '\Yilts and Somerset; and that it was a station of the Romans is indicated by coins of various emperors found within its area, and by three Roman roads, of which it was the converging point, from '\'Vincbester, Silchester and Dorchester, with other three, partly traceable to Bath, Ilchester and a station on the Kennet. Under the West Saxons, it first became a Christian see. King Stepben placed a garrison here, which offended the Churchmen, who, immured upon a steep and arid hill, had probably already cast many a longing glance at the fertile and irrigated meads at its foot. .A. new cathedral was projected; the proud fane of Salisbury arose; and, deprived of its splendid ecclesiastical establishment, thill

176 S.ALISBURY. WILTSHIRE. f KELLY's once important and flourishing city gradually decayed and finally disappeared; a few fragments of foundations alone remain. The elevation of the inner mound is calculated to be 339 feet; within it stood the citadel, with some streets radiating from and others encircling it. In the hot summer of 1834, the extreme drought caused the ground between the entrenchments to crack, so as to discover the entire foundations of the ancient cathedral, situated, as had been supposed, on the north-west .side : a very large and curious double key was found among its ruins. .A tree near Stratford was the place of nominal election for the borough of Old Sarum, but almost immediately alter the Reform Act of 1832, a vio:ent wind blew down the principal part of the tree. Edward Ill. assembled a parliament at Salisbury, at which Mortimer Earl of March and his partisans atte!lded -with their armed followers. The Earls of Kent, Norfolk and Lancaster, being summoned by Mortimer to attend this parliament without an armed force, on discovering Mortimer's position, retreated to assemble their retainers and return with an army; the quarrel, however, was compromised through the intervention of the c:ergy. In the reign of Richard Ill. the Duke of Buckingham was beheaded here, and his headless remains were discovered beneath the floor of the kitchen of the " Saracen's Head " inn. High street lies in a direct line between the old and new cities, and its continuation is called Castle street, as Old Sarum is denominated Castle Hill, The Bath road turns off ·from High street by a stone bridge over the Avon through the suburb of Fisherton Anger. 'fhe diocese was originally seated at Wilton in this county, about the 10th century; subsequently transferred to Old Sarum, and ultimately. in 1217, to Salisbury: the county of Berks, excepting a small portion, was in 1836 transferred to the Oxford diocese, while the county of Dorset was taken from Bristol diocese and added to Salisbury, which now comprises the whole of the county of Dorset with the greater part of Wilts and a small portion of Berks, and within the archdeaconries of Dorset, Sarum and Wilts. Cricklade or Malmesbury deaneri.es were severed from Salisbury and added to Bristol diocese in 1837. The original Cathedral was founded at Old Sarum by Bishop Osmund (1072-99), to whom a charter of foundation was granted by William Rufus, April 5th, 1091, and the edifice was dedicated on the same day in the succeeding year, but it was translated to New Sarum • Ill 1220. The existing Cathedral of St. Mary, beautifully situated within a spacious grassy close of half a square mile in extent, fringed with magnificent trees, is a structure of Chilmark stone, quarried about 15 miles from the city, in the purest form of Early English, and is the only English cathedral completed in one style, on a well-arranged and uniform plan: fortunate both in its site and seclusion, it possesses advantages equally enjoyed by no other similar edifice in the kingdom, and " its beautiful symmetry of outline, its fine dimensions, consummate unity of effect, incomparable disposition of parts, its exquisite grace and simplicity, the uniformity of its architecture, and its unrivalled spire," never fail to produce on the beholder an indelible impression : the ground plan is perfect, and consists of a nave of ten bays, with aisles and a north porch, a main transept of four bays in each wing, central tower with spire, choir of six bays with aisles, choir transept of three bays in each wing and alll eastern Lady chapel of four bays with aisles : south of the choir transept is an octagonal muniment room, and south of the nave, but detached from it, are the cloisters and chapter house. The most striking features of the exterior, an urunterrupted view of which can be obtained on every side, are " the west.ern front with its lateral turrets, the superb spire, the large and deep north porch, with a chamber above it, and the two transepts, one at the crossing and the other at the junction of the choir and presbytery." The western front or screen, a composition of the highest beauty, consists of a central compartment or bay, acutely gabled, and embattled wings, flanked by square turrets, terminating in short spires with small JOpirelets at the angles: the central bay is lighted by three tall lancets, and be}ow these are three deeplyrecessed pedimented porches, the middle one forming the chief entrance : and two similar porches are placed on either side of the screen, the whole of which, except the principal bay, is covered with five tiers of varied arcading, relieved by a broad band of quatrefoil work at about half its height: the lofty north porch is richly arcaded within, and has a crocketed gab~e set between shafted turrets finished with spirelets; the tower, ?ising in the centre of the main transept, is of three storeys, the two uppermost being lighted by four canopied twolight windows in each face, divided by buttresses and enriched with tra.cery and niches: at E"ach angle riJOes an octangular turret, and frolm the midst of fan:r pirrnacles springs the octangular spire, to a height of 400 feet, adorned with three bands of rich quatrefoiled work: it has canopied dormers to the points of the compass~ and its angles, decorated with the ball flower ornament, present a slightly broken out:ine against the sky; the curious timber framing of its interior is at once bold a!ld ingenious, but it was ascertained by Mr. F. Price,. architect, about 1740, to be 24~ inches out of the perpendicular on the south and 16! inches on the west: it was braced with iron by Sir Christopher Wren in 1668,. and no further settlement has been observed since 1681. The cathedral was begun in 1220, the foundations having been laid by Bishop Poore on April 28th in that year, and the first service was held Sept. 29th, 1225: the work was continued by Bishops Bingham (1229-47) and: William of York (1247-56), and on the 29th Sept. 1258, after an expenditure of 4o,ooo marks, or about £26,666, the building was consecrated by Bi,hop Bridport in thepresence of Henry Ill. and was final:y dedicated on Lady Day in 1260. The cloisters and chapter home were finished in 1263-70, by Bishop Waiter de la Wyle ~ the tower carried up about 1330 by Bishop Wyville : the spire, begun in 1335 by Nicholas de Portland, "Was completed in 137.') by Richard de Farleigh, who designed the Abbeys of Bath and Reading: Bishop Beauchamp (1450-82) built a chapel, destroyed by Wyatt in 1792, on the south side of the Lady chapel, and erected the great hall of the palace: Bishop Audley (1502-24) built the chantry on the north side of the choir: and in 1476 Lord Hungerford's chapel, also demolished by Wyatt, was erected on the north side of the Lady chapel ; Bishop Ward (1667-89) renewed the stall and screen, and laid down the marble floorin!; of the choir; the work being carried out under the direction of Sir Christopher Wren, who a:so surveyed and braced the spire. In 1741, June 21st, the spire was struck by lightning and set on fire, but did not receive any serious damage. Bishop Hum~ (1766-82) removed Wren's stalls and screen, and replaced them by others. During the prelacy of Bishop Shute Barrington ( 1782-91) the cathedral was repaired and altered, and at the same time scandalously mutilated, by the notorious architect James vVyatt, at a cost of £26,ooo, under whose direction the Beauchamp and Hungerford chapels were demolished, and theil' ornamental portions used up in the reconstruction of the reredos, organ screen and choir stalls ; he also. removed two porches, the screens inclosing the transeptr obliterated with colour wa.sh the curious paintings on the vaulting of the choir and eastern transept, and displacing many of the monuments, especially in the Lady chapel, arranged them in two formal rows down the nave; simultaneously a detached Early English clochard or bell-tower, of three decreasing- stages with a spire-, which stood north-west of the church and contained 8 bells, was wholly destroyed. In 1827 various repairs to the spire were carried out by means of an ingenious wicker contrivance suspended from the top : the interior has since been cleared of whitewash and colouring, thlil' marble shafting of the piers ;renewed, and the roof paintings referred to above, repre~enting the hallowing of human labour by the Son of 1\Ian and His glorificatioll>, together with scenes from the Apocalypse, have be«:>n carefully disclosed, and, where necessary, repainted: the 13th century choir stalls and the Bishop's throne have alw been restored by the clergy and laity of the diocese-, in memory of Bishop Hamilton ( 1854-69). More recently the porch has been restored and an oak lobby erected as a memorial of the late Dean Hamilton, by his widow, the stone screen removed, and a screen of metal-work erected, adorned with filagree work and sur-- mounted by a cross. From 1873 to 1892, the sums expended on thecathedral amounted in a:I to £.49,548 18s. The piers of the nave consist of four clustered columns~ with as many shafts of Purbeck marble, supporting elegant pointed arches; the triforium has two couplets of trefoiled arches in each bay, with a quatrefoil in the head : the clerestory displays trip:ets of lancets, and the vaulting is plain. The main transept has two peculiar adjuncts in the beautifully designed arches erected between the arches of the crossing soon after the buildin~ of the tower, which had already shown •ig-ns f weakness in the north-east transept; against the we•tern wall of the north-east transept is placed the ancie:1t rood screen;

DffiECTORY.] 'VILTSHIRE. SALISBURY. 177 the north wing :retains also an Ear:y Perpendicular lavatory removed from the sacristy, and a double aambry; in the south wing is a double aumbry and a t>iscina combined with parts of ancient doors. The choir retains somd Early English stall work, and a few stalls and misericords of the time of Henry VII. and lthe Bishop's throne, of rich canopied work disposed in a pyramidal form: the organ, built by Green, in 1792, and JlTesented by George Ill. has been replaced by a new one, presented, at a cost of £3,500, by Miss Chafyn Grove, of :Z-eals, and inclosed in an oak case, provided in 1883, at a cost of £1,2oo. In the south side, adjoining the south .end of the choir transept, is an octagenal sacristy and muniment room, where is preserved an Early English ochl!st, a paten and chalice, an episcopal ring, a 15th century cope of grean and gold, and a wooden pastoral staff of the 13th century. .The Lady chapel, formerly separated from the preshytery by a screen, removed in 1789-90, is uniquely divided into three alleys by slender columns of Pur beck marble: 'the former reredos, composed of fragments of the Beauchamp and Hungerford chapels, was destroyed by Wyatt: :a new reredos, an exquisite work in the Early English style, has been presented for the high altar of the choir tly Earl Beauchamp, in memory of his ancestor Bishop 13eauchamp ( 1450-82 ). The shrine of St. Osmund stood in the first bay of this chapel, and in the presbytery are 'two chapels at the sides of the altar, above which was the w:lltching loft. The cloisters, situated at the south of the nave, but detached from it, form a beautiful quadrangle, r8r feet :square, the most perfect of the kind now remaining, surrounding a fine sward shadowed by cedars ; they are connected with the cathedral at the south-west angle of the main transept, and again by the consistory court at the west end of the nave. On the east side is a fine octagonal chapter house, supported by a central shafted pillar and lighted by eight large traceried windows, below which runs a continuous arcading; in the spandrils are sculptures of scripture subjects, from the Creation to the Exodus, restored by Philip ; over the entrance is represented in polychrome the Pyschomachia of Prudentius ; it was restored in r856 by Mr. H. Clutton, and the roof painted by Hudson, as a1 memorial to Bishop Denison. The library, built by Bishop Jewel, over the eastern alley, contains MSS. of the Venerable Bede of the 9th ~Century, and of Geoffrey of Monmouth and St. Augustine <Of the 8th and 1oth centuries, a Bible of the 13th century, :and a Liturgy, with Saxon version; some of the earlier books were givep by Bishop Gheast (1571-8): it now contains 187 volumes of MSS. and 4,990 of printed books. The cathedral, owing largely to the destructiveness of Wyatt, who, it is said, " threw it by the cart-load into the eity ditch," contains but little ancient stained glass: some portions of the Early English glass (124o-8o) removed from the chapter house are retained in several of the windows, and the western triplet contains Perpendicular and Cinque-Cento glass from Dijon and Exeter, but there are no complete windows of an earlier date than 1782 ; the east window of the choir, designed by S. H. Mortimer, and presented by Jacob, Earl of Radnor, in 1782, represents " The Raising of the Brazen Serpent ; " the east window of the Lady chapel, designed by Sir .Joshua Reynolds, and executed by Eginton, represents the " Resurrection; " there are memorial windows to Mary, Countess of Radnor, who died sth April, 1879; to the wife of the Rev. Canon Swayne, and to the 62nd (Duke of Edinburgh's) Regiment, and in July, r884, a memorial window was placed in the south transept to Sir George Alfred Arney, late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Zealand: a memorial window in the south choir aisle is to H.R.H. Duke of Albany K.G.: a triple lancet in the north-east transept to the memory of Mrs. W. K. Hamilton, widow of Bishop Hamilton: a double lancet in east nave aisle to the memory of W. Martin Coates: a single lancet in north transept to the late Mr. Middleton, by his widow. The monuments in the cathedral include those of the following bishops :-Osmund, 1099; Roger, 1139, and Joscelyne, n84, both with effigies in has relief; Richard Poore, 1237, altar tomb and effigy of Purbeck marble; Robert Bingham, 1246, canopied arch with cadaver ; Wm. of York, 1256, with canopied arch; Giles de Bridport, 1263, tomb with effigy and small chantry, enriched with biographical sculptures: Waiter De la Wyle, 1274; Roger de Mortival, 1329, slab with fioriated cross; Robert Wyville, 1375, with incised brass of the bishop's champion before Sherborne Castle; Richard Metford, 1407, effigy under canopy; Richard Beauchamp, 1482, altar tomb; Lionel 'Voodville, 1484, and John Blythe, r5oo, both altar tombs; Edmund Audley, 1524, chantry; John Salcot or Capon, I555· altar tomb; John Jewell, I57I; John Davenant, r64r, mural monument; Seth \Vard, 1689, tomb with bust; John Fisher, 1825, altar tomb; and Waiter Kerr Hamilton, 1869, tomb with effigy. The slab of the tomb of St. Osmund de Seez, founder of the Cathedral of Old Sarum, and compiler of the "Sarum Use,'' was in 1885 fixed in the south aisle of the Lady chapel. The other principal monuments are :-·William Longespee, first Earl of Salisbury and son of Fair Rosamund, 1226, altar tomb with effigy; William Longespee, second earl, killed near Cairo, 1250, and buried at Acre, effigy; Sir John de Montacute, 1389, altar tomb with effigy; Robert, Lord Hungerford, 1459, altar tomb with effigy; William Wilton, Chancellor of Sarum, r5o6, altar tomb; Sir John Cheney, standard bearer of Henry of Richmond at Bosworth, 1509, effigy; Sir T.

The monument of Bishop :Moherley, designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield, consists of an arched recess, with gabled and traceried panels, r885. The episcopal effigies include a diminutive one in bas relief of the 13th century, found in 168o near the pulpit; it ha-s no inscription, but has been conjectured tv represent a "Boy-Bishop " of the choristers, whose offi~e lasted from the festival of St. Nicholas (the patron saint of boys), December 6, until that of the Holy Innocents, December 28, or till Epiphany; another reputed memorial of this kind, bearing a pastoral staff in relief, is preserved in the church of West Wittering, Sussex. The churchyard, or lawn of the Close, was a place of burial till the time of Bishop Barrington. A broad gravelled and shaded mall, which forms the approach to the great western entrance of the cathedral, and crosses the Close from north to south, is the favourite summer evening promenade.
