There are pictures everywhere - but we took these.
The West door - the entrance.
It is the tallest spire in the UK. The weight of the tower is so great that columns were buckling. I think they have sorted out the problem by now (they called on Christopher Wren to fix it) but the buckled pillars remain.
Salisbury Cathedral houses one (and the best) copy of the Magna Carta. Only 4 remain. You cannot take photographs, but it was very clear, almost HD, despite being in small print. It was in Latin, so could not vouch for the translations. Quite amazing that people came up with concepts such as fairness in those medieval days. Of course, fairness didn't apply to you and me, just the barons and the church, but the right-wingers today assure us about a trickle-down effect, in economics anyway.
BTW, fairness was to be judged by a group of your peers - still persists today with the jury system.
The Barons forced all this on King John who knew he had to put on his seal or else. Like all politicians, he attempted to renege on his promises. But subsequent kings were simply handed another Charter to sign.
This is the 800th year after the signing of MC. There are displays and pictures all over Salisbury, as well as competitions to colour in the best baron. Here are a couple:
We finally struck Tube congestion on the way home. However, even tonight, we have rarely had to wait more than a minute for a train - quite amazing service. BL leaves tomorrow, so we are looking for a tube-free outing - ie close to the hotel. British Museum is high on the list. I see there is a display about Australia's indigenous peoples, as well as new stuff on mummies, including XRays etc.
