“I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service.” So spoke Her Majesty The Queen in 1947. She was a woman of her word, and she will be greatly missed. Our deepest condolences to the Royal Family eht.social/3KZ81Bj

Happy #MagnaCartaDay!📃 Did you know that one of the original 1215 Magna Carta documents was once held at Old Sarum? See it now on display over at Salisbury Cathedral which moved when the Cathedral moved from Old Sarum to the centre of Salisbury.

This truly unique site is home to over 2,000 years of history... #DYK that Old Sarum is the site of a royal castle, a cathedral and an Iron Age fortification? The Iron Age hillfort may date back as far as 400 BC! 🏰⛪⚔️

The extensive cathedral ruins give us a glimpse of how grand this building once was. ✨⛪ #DYK that stone from the cathedral at Old Sarum was taken to Salisbury? It was then reused in the new cathedral 🧱♻️

This bridge links the two earth banks of Old Sarum’s Iron Age Hillfort and is thought to be the site’s original entry point.🗝️ #DYK that the impressive ramparts were first created in around 400BC? They were later heightened in either the late Iron Age or early Roman period.
