  1. Salisbury Cathedral
    Oh yes, I really had to work hard to earn this ‘medal’!

    The Tower Tour of Salisbury Cathedral’s tower isn’t for people with a fear of heights, like me – but it’s absolutely worth it!
    And to be honest: you never talk about #fear – only about #heroic deeds! ;-)

  6. Salisbury Cathedral - a gigantic structure that is remarkably difficult to capture

    I was today years old when I realised that the Salisbury and Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill" are probably not the same place. Still, it's a cracking song

  9. Nazanin talk at Cathedral

    Talk by Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe disappointing for many

    March 2025

    Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was interviewed in Salisbury Cathedral by the Rt Revd Bishop of Sherborne, Karen Gorham, about her experiences of being imprisoned in Iran and life after her release. Unfortunately, the sound system was such that many could not hear large chunks of what was said, some claiming only being able to hear a quarter of the discussion.

    The local group was pleased that the Bishop, Nazanin and her husband all mentioned the role played by Amnesty and the introducer mentioned the local group in particular.

    The event was a sell-out with over 1,000 people in attendance. It took place on International Women’s Day.

    Nazanin made the point that there was a difference between being political prisoner and a hostage.

    Being a hostage brought with it a different set of rules since what the legal case was did not matter. She also said you only appreciate freedom when you don’t have it for a long time. After release she found ‘adjustment quite difficult’. For a long time she said ‘my body was free but my mind was in prison’. Even meals were difficult because she found the rush of having to eat in prison was difficult to shake off.

    She discussed the Boris Johnson affair. Johnson blurted out that Nazanin was in Iran to ‘train journalists’ which was untrue: she was there on holiday. This was used by the Iranian authorities against her. It took a long time for Johnson to meet her and he failed explicitly to apologise for his error despite the effect it had on her confinement. Both have been extremely critical of the British government during her ordeal.

    Richard, her husband spoke about the ‘of the kindness of strangers’ . He also spoke of the role of Amnesty and of the symbolic nature of the Amnesty logo of a candle in a coil of barbed wire.

    We apologise for the partial nature of this post for reasons outside our control. Image, Amnesty International. There may be a live stream available on the Cathedral website.

  10. Write for Rights

    Members of the Salisbury group took part in a Write for Rights event

    December 2024

    Some members of the Salisbury group took part in a Write for Rights event in the Cathedral Cloisters on Sunday 1 December. There were four individuals we were campaigning for and around 80 cards were signed over a 3 hour session. This is fewer than in previous years and possibly reflects the ceaseless campaigning by elements of the media against human rights and for the abolition of the Human Rights Act. Between approximately 10 and 15% of people took part and signed cards.

  11. An excerpt from ‘Tudor Tombs in Salisbury Cathedral’ by Julian Humphrys for Issue 03.

    Salisbury Cathedral, renowned for its glorious medieval architecture and housing of a rare original Magna Carta, also has several lesser-known Tudor connections.
