Synopsis


A 13th-century planned town, Salisbury's medieval layout can be easily traced and it is still dominated by its magnificent cathedral. Explaining the city's development, as a market, an industrial town, a transport hub, and a county's social center, the authors have very successfully met the challenge and produced an easy-to-read narrative.
