Description
The magnificent Salisbury Cathedral Quire and High Altar.
The Cathedral Quire features the largest and earliest complete set of choir stalls with intricate carvings and a magnificent selection of misericords. Boy and girl choristers sing daily services, continuing a tradition of worship that goes back over 750 years.
The High Altar is the very heart of the Cathedral. This is the table where Holy Communion is celebrated. The embroidered frontal changes during the year to reflect the season in the church.
The window behind the High Altar is entitled Prisoners of Conscience and is situated in the Trinity Chapel. It was designed by the French artist Gabriel Loire and installed in 1980.
