Why Join Us
Help protect Salisbury Cathedral Close – a place worth protecting
Salisbury Cathedral Close is one of the most remarkable historic settings in England. Its buildings, green spaces and distinctive character are part of Salisbury’s heritage, enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
By becoming a member of the Salisbury Cathedral Close Preservation Society, you help us to protect and preserve this special place for present and future generations.
Your membership supports an independent voice for the Close, helping us to raise awareness, encourage thoughtful stewardship and speak up when its historic character or setting may be at risk.
Interesting talks and social events
We organise a programme of talks, visits and other events exploring the history, architecture and heritage of the Close and its surroundings. These are opportunities to discover something new, meet others with shared interests and enjoy being part of the Society.
News and updates
Our occasional newsletters keep members informed about matters affecting the Close, the Society’s activities and issues of interest to those who care about its future.
A source of knowledge and information
Our website offers information about the Close’s history, buildings and landscape, alongside news of current issues and the Society’s work. It is a growing resource for anyone interested in understanding and appreciating this remarkable place.
