Roof construction of the nave at Salisbury Cathedral

A centuries-old construction still works!
Can we guarantee the same for our modern constructions?

Another piece of ancient #history for #Caturday! 😸 This #drawing (also called a #graffiti) of a #cat can be found in the #Cloisters of #SalisburyCathedral. It may have been made by a Durch prisoner of war in the late 17th century. There are several graffitis all over the #church, you can even take a tour to see them. (I didn't but stumbled across this fellow by chance)

A slightly low-angle shot focuses on a weathered grey stone slab in the foreground, upon which a simple, etched drawing of a small quadruped, possibly a cat, is visible. The stone is damp and reflects a small puddle of water. Behind the stone slab, a neatly trimmed, low green hedge separates the foreground from a paved area with arched openings and decorative asterisk-like carvings on the upper level of the Cloisters of Salisbury Cathedral. To the left, a portion of another grand stone structure with pointed arched windows is partially visible. The overall lighting suggests an overcast day, casting soft shadows. The scene evokes a sense of history and quiet contemplation within the grounds of an old building.

Nazanin talk at Cathedral

Talk by Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe inspiring for those who heard it

March 2025

UPDATE, 12 March: For those who would like to revisit the talk, the Cathedral has produced a recording, available until 17th March. 19 March: now removed.

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was interviewed in Salisbury Cathedral by the Rt Revd Bishop of Sherborne, Karen Gorham, about her experiences of being imprisoned in Iran and life after her release. Unfortunately, the sound system was such that many could not hear large chunks of what was said, some claiming only being able to hear a quarter of the discussion.

The local group was pleased that the Bishop, Nazanin and her husband all mentioned the role played by Amnesty and the introducer mentioned the local group in particular.

The event was a sell-out with nearly 1,000 people in attendance. It took place on International Women’s Day.

Nazanin made the point that there was a difference between being political prisoner and a hostage.

Being a hostage brought with it a different set of rules since what the legal case was did not matter. She also said you only appreciate freedom when you don’t have it for a long time. After release she found ‘adjustment quite difficult’. For a long time she said ‘my body was free but my mind was in prison’. Even meals were difficult because she found the rush of having to eat in prison was difficult to shake off.

She discussed the Boris Johnson affair. Johnson blurted out that Nazanin was in Iran to ‘train journalists’ which was untrue: she was there on holiday. This was used by the Iranian authorities against her. It took a long time for Johnson to meet her and he failed explicitly to apologise for his error despite the effect it had on her confinement. Both have been extremely critical of the British government during her ordeal.

Richard, her husband spoke about the ‘of the kindness of strangers’ . He also spoke of the role of Amnesty and of the symbolic nature of the Amnesty logo of a candle in a coil of barbed wire.

We apologise for the partial nature of this post for reasons outside our control. Image, Amnesty International.

The Monkey

When I first visited Salisbury Cathedral in 2011, there was a challenge there to find some hidden things and curiosities.
One of them was to look out for a monkey throwing apples.
Since then, every time I visit this great cathedral, I take a look at this monkey!
