Trio to release book detailing all the best churches in and around Salisbury
Three church enthusiasts have produced a book detailing 65 churches in and around Salisbury.
The trio, John Elliott, Malcolm Sinclair, and Roy Bexon, have spent 18 months visiting the churches, culminating in the creation of 'Churches of Salisbury & District'.
The book, published by Sarum Chronicle, will be officially launched on June 12.
At 264 pages, it includes essays on church history and architecture, tips for visitors, and detailed accounts of each church visited.
The book is illustrated with colour photographs and contains maps for locating the churches, as well as suggested routes for tours of rural churches.
