Salisbury Cathedral unveils two new ‘statement’ altars

The altars have been placed at two of the building’s key spots – the Spire Crossing and Trinity Chapel

More than 800 years after work began on Salisbury Cathedral, the space is still being developed and modified – and this weekend two new altars were officially unveiled and consecrated.

Created by the sculptor William Pye in collaboration with the furniture maker Luke Hughes, the altars have been placed at two of the building’s key spots – the Spire Crossing and Trinity Chapel.
