Salisbury Cathedral is a
Church of England cathedral in the city of
Salisbury in
Wiltshire, England. Built in
early English Gothic style, it was constructed between 1220 and 1258. This photograph, taken in 2014, shows the interior of the cathedral, looking eastwards towards the
high altar through the tall and narrow
nave. It has three levels: a tall pointed
arcade, an open gallery, and a small
clerestory. In the foreground is an unconventional modern
baptismal font, installed in September 2008. Designed by the water sculptor
William Pye, it is the largest working font in any British cathedral. The font is cruciform in shape, and has a 10-foot-wide (3.0 m) vessel filled to its brim with water, designed so that the water overflows in filaments through each corner into bronze gratings embedded in the cathedral's stone floor.Photograph credit:
