Salisbury Cathedral

After Stonehenge yesterday we went on to the town of Salisbury and toured the Salisbury Cathedral. The cathedral boasts the highest spire in all of England, and we climbed it. The cathedral was beautiful but otherwise there was nothing to report so I will just share a few pictures.
A very small portion of the front.
The beautiful courtyard.
A spire, but not the famous one. Somehow I didn't get a picture of the famous one.
A little of the interior from up high.
As a fundraiser, people could pay £5 to engrave a glass. The artist, Whistler did one, it is the pane in the middle. 
Almost all cathedrals are shaped like a cross, this picture shows you that. Also, you can see a little graveyard. It is home to the workers who died on site. 
And there was this random statue outside. I thought it was funny.
