Salisbury’s Franciscan Friary and the Buildings that border it

September 2026

Our walk starts in the Northwest Corner of the Friary Precinct by visiting the interior of Windover House to see it’s surprising probable sixteenth courtyard and probably seventeenth century staircase. The walk then takes us around the perimeter of the ancient Friary, learning of its buildings, what became of its extensive grounds and seeing its listed east wall.

We will then visit the mysterious probable fifteenth century doorway in the grounds of Vale House, see inside the Gothic style Blackmore Museum (now flats) and finish our tour in the magnificent pillared and domed circular dining room built by Col. Baker around 1812. Here we will be rewarded with tea and biscuits.
