I remember 1971, restoration work was still underway, and for 1pound, i wrote my father's name in memorium, on a beam which would be used in the ceiling. He was an American flyer, stationed in England, a rear-tail gunner in a bomber. He loved England..and. so did I when i was able to go with my uncle, an Episcopalian minister, after Dad's passing. I was SO THRILLED, I could place his name up in the sky, hoping to remind Heaven of what a hero he'd been, at tremendous personal sacrifice!!! It was a tearful but truly joyful moment.. i was just lucky the cathedral had figured out such a nifty fundraiser!!! 😊❤❤❤❤❤

Brilliant,Sam .. absolutely mind-blowing engineering and beauty, what a sight this would have been back in the day. Terrific stuff 👍

Loved this Sam -Thank you 👍

Really enjoyed this, Sam. Thank you. Fascinating place to go, and hope to go there one day. 🙂 Lovely mixture of camera shots, music, and spoken words. Inspiring.

Thanks Sam!! Had the opportunity to visit SALISBURY Cathedral in May 2006, while on a 3-week bus tour of the British Isles. It was a Saturday, and there was an outdoor market in the village that day. Bought a fantastic pulled pork sandwich from one of the food stands. Your video brought my visit back to life for me.

Blasting through the 500 subs mark - well done, Sam! 🎉

Wow! Gave me vertigo looking at those superb views from the top of the tower. I don't think I'd have the nerve - or the breath - to climb that far above ground level. Impossible to imagine how those medieval masons created such a magnificent structure - let alone transferred it all from Old Sarum. Well done!

Ciao! Sam!! A great video!! Lovely to see you with your daughter again. I didn't know they had the oldest working clock there, amazing!! I will have a look at Paul's video next to find out more about the dipstick, nothing rude about them at all, our cars have at least one!! Winchester Cathedral has a similar story and had to be shored up. The diver who did the work is commemorated nearby. Interesting to see the curvature of the pillars, how on earth did they design these buildings back then centuries ago? I seem to recall Gaudi designed his cathedral upside down by hanging weights off strings. Hope you're having a great time back home.

Stunning indeed...That was pretty interesting to watch! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

That cathedral is beautiful, surprised y’all didn’t go def when the bells rang and that scenery on top wow kinda got chills lol

Absolutely amazing building, thank you for this Sam 😊

Thank you for another fantastic upload,finally passed 500 subscribers too😬😬😬

For anybody watching this video and think Salisbury Cathedral is awesome and very beautiful, I have something to say. I saw it in person 3 times. Despite how good this video is, (and it is very good), it just doesn't capture the absolute majesty of this massive amazing cathedral. If you ever visit the UK, Salisbury Cathedral is an absolute must-see!! I can't come up with words strong enough to describe how wonderful it is. While you're there, visit Stonehenge, too.

Oh my gosh! I'm so in awe of the work, and the skills of those medieval stone masons, and the carpenters too. I do love exploring a cathedral! Salisbury is on my 'to visit' list...I've seen the second oldest clock, at Wells cathedral. Another wonderful video Sam, thanks for posting, and for the effort you put in.

Thanks Sam, your best yet. As someone who has a modest fear of heights, rather you than me.

Here from Paul's channel...really enjoyed this film and has convinced me to visit the cathedral and spire myself. Some of those "looking down" shots were awesome and vertigo inducing at the same time 😮

Fantastic video,ive just become your 501 subscriber..cant wait to watch your other videos..thank you for taking the time to make them,they look like my cup of tea..

Hey Sam! You have really excelled with this incredible film. I liked the bit about the dipstick, not sure about dangling off the top though! Incredible history and engineering, truly in-spire-ational! 😁xx

Wow, my local cathedral but I have never been up the tower. How brave you both were, and the people who built it in the days before safety technology. There was more space on the inside than I expected. Thank you for an interesting video and I look forward to the international one. Now over to watch Paul's version of the dipstick.

hi again Sam and Daughter , great informative video as always , i already watched Pauls Sam sorry lol , this will be a cool follow up lol, such a Beautiful place to visit , great view from the top , really well done and thank you both 😊

Now here is a bizarre experience- when I was last at Avebury and Stonehenge I also visited Old Sarum and the cathedral. It was a very quiet and peaceful day, but as I was wandering around the area of the choir, the fire alarm went off. Notre Dame had been burned just a couple of years prior so my first thought was “Oh no! Not this place! And please don’t let me witness it....”. We of course had to evacuate. But it was a false alarm and after a long inspection by the fire brigade we were allowed back in. What a relief.

I visited Salisbury Cathedral and Old Sarum back in 1983 (40 years OMG) while visting brother who was doing research at Oxford. I was truly fascinated by this massive cathedral. Your video was a different and interesting perspective of the cathedral. I wish you would introduce your daughter too as she was part of your tour. I also liked your choice of music. I'm subscribing to thanks to your distinctive style plus I like to hear a woman's perspective!! 👍

@malcoimrichardson3881...The same thing happened to me, lol!!! Thanks Sam for taking us into the belly of the beast to have a good look. I love the U.K sooo much, and for you taking us on the journeys. One day hopefully, I'll be there to see it first hand, until then, I'm watching, listening, and learning about where my family came from. Cheers!🍁

I wonder how old the bells are and how often they service them. Because they Become damaged if not turned every so often.

Lovely dipstick! 😂

Did I see some solar panels? If so, I hope and pray that they put all kinds of electrical safety systems in. A large solar array can generate enough power to start a good sized fire!

I'm surprised that the guide didn't mention the original belfry, or that they seem not to have put a marker where it was. Time Team excavated the foundations in Series 16, Episode 12. It was in 2009 according to the end credits.

Dipstick is an American insult
