Salisbury Cathedral is a truly remarkable building, a testimony to the faith and practical skills of the medieval craftsmen who built it, but it is much more than a historical monument. It is a living church and a place of prayer. As the Cathedral Church of the Salisbury diocese, it is the Mother Church of several hundred parishes in Wiltshire and Dorset. It is also a centre of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
Salisbury Cathedral was built as a place to worship God. Their primary function is to be a living Church in which God is praised and God’s people grow in faith. They pray every day, not just for the Cathedral community but for the world beyond it and for those who have asked for their prayers. Music is central to their services here, and their wonderful choir leads them through much of their daily worship.
