Welcome! To promote
high standards of planning and architecture The society is a registered charity(No 293143) and has some 400 members and three committees
whose members give their time voluntarily. Our Programme of Events for 2009 is available through the tab on the left. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The AGM will be held in the Sanctuary of the Methodist Church in St Edmunds Church Street starting at 6.30pm on Wednesday 24th June. There is ample room and there will be no overcrowding this year so please come along. Salt Lane car park is close by. CIVIC TRUST/CIVIC SOCIETY INITIATIVE As some readers may be aware the Civic Trust, to which we subscribed, very sadly recently went into Administration. Since then the Civic Society Initiative has been set up as descibed by them below. To find out more please visit their website at www.civicsocietyinitiative.org.uk. What is the Civic Society Initiative?
The History of Salisbury as told by its Plaques For some time the Society has been intending to publish a new guide to plaques in Salisbury which will include not only our Blue Plaques but also all other plaques of interest located within the central area. We are fortunate in that we have a member, Alan Clarke, who has volunteered to take on this daunting task. His work has borne much fruit and you should click on the plaque to go to to the website he has set up Here you will learn more about the project which has made excellent progress. He would welcome any contributions by email to jac314159@mac.com but points out that the contents have not yet been reviewed in terms of accuracy, capital letters, correct English etc. At the site there is available for download a full colour 8 page Plaque Guide with map to enable you to walk around Salisbury and trace the history for yourself. You can print it in colour or in greyscale to suit your requirements. Salisbury in Detail
Thanks to a very generous bequest The Society is planning to publish a book with the working title of "Salisbury in Detail". The intention of the book is to draw people’s attention to aspects of the architecture of Salisbury that they might otherwise miss, in an enticing, attractive and colourful manner. This will be done by highlighting details of buildings within the city, excluding ecclesiastical buildings, which can go largely unnoticed. We anticipate a high quality book, with the material predominantly colour photographs, essentially 'coffee table' in approach rather than academic. Our hope would be that the selling price can be kept to a level that enables a fairly wide market to be reached. There will be around 20 different categories and a selection of photographs from each category in turn will be shown on this site. Updated 19th March 2009 Click on picture below to go to the selections from the "Door Furniture " and "Brickwork" categories.'
