Specialist Tours

Salisbury Cathedral's Work Yard Tours - Salisbury Cathedral Works Yard is one of only nine Anglican Cathedral Works Yards in the UK, and the only one equipped to undertake every process on site from quarried block to final fixing. The Cathedral stonemasons practice heritage skills that date back centuries, using tools very much like those used in medieval times. We can now open up the yard to the public (maximum 12 visitors). During this exciting tour a Work Yard Guide will show you the drawing office, where the templates are made for the stones and restoration is planned, the banker room where masons carve the stone and the two large saws used to cut down the huge quarry blocks.
