Sarum is a wonderful book! By dumb luck, I took it as my travel book, not expecting to go to Salisbury. But as we were touring the south of England, that turned out to be one of our overnight stops. We did do the drive out to Old Sarum, too. Then, as I finished the book, I could picture some of the places, especially the cathedral.
We stayed in a neat hotel. It ws part of a chain that no longer exists, as far as I can tell (Chef & Brewer). Their rooms weren't numbered, they were named. Because of Salisbury's relationship with the Restoration, three of the rooms on one landing were named for King Charles, his wife (we had that room, can't remember her name, Catherine of Braganza maybe?) and the third was "Nell Gwynne's Parlor.' Very cute.
